Yeah most of these issues are addressed in gitlab
As for lxqt we use tiling script
So he had no idea about it.
As for windows bring transparent
It seems blur effect fails on his hardware.
And the login failing
- desktop dissapear
Its related qt update
Ohh well he had a very rough ride

Its nice to get a thoughtful review since it helps us improving 
Most stuff indeed got addressed. it also seems that the reviewer is more into purist systems, which his conclusion also tells

I think we should remove preload its causing them to think
That our desktop use more ram than necessary

Yeah, lot of people think this appearently 
Instead maybe make it another toggle

Or, make it a key feature?
That said, it does increase boot time because it has to read data from disk. It’s a balancing act - more boot time for better first-launch performance?

Yup i entirely agree i made too many tweaks for it to perform better on my hardware

From this GPU take also RAM, not fair 
2 Likes
There is only one reason why we set requirements for the ram so high
I dont know why but while installing it consumes too much ram
And i suspect preload being the problem
3 Likes
Then lets just not install it by default and make it optional for the performance tweaks package?
2 Likes
Okay lets test it
We will test the ram usage of kde ultimate when installing
We will remove preload from this test iso and see if ram usage drops while installing

Well the boot up failure is the main reason why I switched over to garuda. Anything with GNOME fails to boot up on my laptop and KDE shows lots of errors on boot up.
To be clear, my english is bad
Garuda GNOME and KDE work on your laptop?
Would be nice to have your laptop spec's with

@SGS Thanks for asking but I already use Garuda I3 and it works as smooth as butter. Will soon try the KDE edition.
Cheers The thing I like the most about Garuda is it community.
Love

Hello, I did not experienced the issues the reviewer mentioned, and for me KDE Lite boots fast and shutoff fast too. I only had difficulties with my old Nvidia proprietary drives, but with your help was piece of cake the solution, in fact it was not Garuda issue. I have not tested LxQt.
Regards

Most people testing Garuda have different hardware. The fact that Linux works at all on the millions of hardware combinations in existence is pretty amazing.
There will always be people whose hardware doesn't work well on a specific distro, yet it may work well with another. You can either keep trying distros until you find one that works for you out of the box, or you need to get your hands dirty and fix the issue yourself.
The forum is always here for those who wish to try their hand at wrenching on their system. Most usually find an answer on the forum if they are persistent. There's not that many help requests that go unresolved here on the Garuda forum.

Jessie's reviews are sometimes not relevant as he is using old hardware and slow spinners to do his reviews, He is also very set in his ways and very stubborn.
But he is one of the better Reviewers all in all.
The other problem with reviews is they are very personal, not subjective to the modern trends and changes.
What I will say is Garuda installed on my 7200 spinner is a slug yes its slow,
On the other side of the coin on my SSDs its fast its stable a joy to use Garuda like most modern Distros is made with modern hardware not the latest and greatest but under 10years old I say that as I use 8 year old gear that performs just fine as i do not game.
