Thank you to all who making Garuda great

I want to tell the devs of the Garuda dragonized distro, and the rest of every single dev on any Unix distro that they are awesome. I left Win10 to Linux Mint for a few months, went back to Win10, upgraded to Win11 (spyware) which pushed me back to Linux.

I came across Garuda while looking up distros that were easy for gaming but had more to it incase I wanted to dabble into other things. Garuda knocked this out of the park. From integrated gaming tweaks, to baked in tools for coding, Hell to even having Blackarch for pentesting if I want to get into that. Now I may have heard about these things before, and God only knows that I wish I could go back in time and learn this from the ground up, but having this being an almost flawless installation for an Arch-based distro when I’ve heard horror stories has been a Godsend. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Green (being wet behind the ears) doesn’t begin to describe me being new to Linux entirely, but if anybody can steer me towards something that can streamline my knowledge of this system, I would be most grateful.

This version of Linux is my personal favorite and I have been spreading the word for the last 2 days since I installed it.

First read through the entire Arch Wiki, then the whole Garuda forum. And stay away from Nvidia. :grin:

Joking aside, welcome to the community @Suffer. :clap:

This book was a beautiful intro to my Linux journey:

I’m certain I’ve recommended it here before, but I couldn’t find the reply where I did.

Welcome to Garuda!

Lol No kidding. Nvidia is way overpriced for what they are putting out nowadays. I’ve read AMD is more plug n play in regards to Linux, so my next upgrade is a 9070XT, along with newer RAM.

But thanks for the welcome, and I’ll try not to get a headache from reading that rabbit hole of knowledge. Lol

Thank you. I’ve seen this book before, possibly something very similar in Books A Million some time ago, but I noticed I can download it for free. Which is very cool.

I saw at the bottom of the descriptor section and it said that this is a sequel of some sort? Would the first book be available too?

*Edit— I see now that it’s another edition including extra material. But thank you very much for this again.

One more from me (personal fav):
