Hey, it’s me 
I’ve wanted to ditch Windows for a few years and this year I pulled the trigger. I dabbled in Mint about 5 years ago and used Ubuntu live CD sometimes at work. I first started with just pure Arch, did a few re-installs and configurations on that, then checked out Manjaro but didn’t really like that. Started looking around at other Arch based distros and saw Garuda…
… and now I’ve been using Garuda Linux for about 3 months (I think) and it’s been what I’ve been looking for pretty much 98.9% of the way. (1.1% is taken care of with dot files 
)
It’s been interesting trying to figure out all the Linux things but it’s getting easier. Thank you for all the contributors to Garuda Linux, Arch and the all the kernels.
Cheers.
