I have been using Garuda for a little over a year now. Recently scored a new laptop and immediately wiped it and installed KDE. Never used KDE much in the past but I love what Garuda has done with it.
I've learned a lot just making mistakes and using the default applications. The forums have always been great. Sometimes a user wants their hand held but mostly it seems users really want to understand the system.
I recently attempted to install another distro to check out Enlightenment on another partition. Screwed up my boot loader, of course. Patience and reading the forums got me back where I want to be. Enlightenment really hasn't changed much since the first release of DR17, BTW. Garuda just keeps getting better.
