Ditched Windows 10 for Garuda Linux. Very happy with the decision. Did try PopOS for a bit, but much more happy with Garuda plus the customization of KDE.

    I’m glad that u made the switch, but I’m a little skeptical about ur choice of distro. I tried Garuda like 2 years ago. Barely lasted 3 months on it.

    Garuda’s KDE DE was incredibly buggy, the wifi would get disconnected constantly and so on. Also, getting any support for it (on forums n stuff like that) was very hard. I made the choice to switch back to Ubuntu. Everything works out of the gate, n if u face any problem it almost always will have a solution posted up on Stack overflow.

    But again, if u’r happy with Garuda, good for u! However, it is not representative of the Linux experience. If u find it to be a pain in the ass, it does not mean that all of Linux is a problem haha.

      It must have improved in the last two years because their community forum has been really helpful for me. I’ve had users go back and forth with me for days until we solved an issue I had.

      Interesting, thanks for the insight. I actually had that problem with PopOS, it would consistently kick off my Bluetooth. Good thing with distros it’s easy enough to switch when you get annoyed or tired of it 🤣
