mhbell Posted Monday at 02:58 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:58 AM Is anyone in the forum using Garuda KDE Plasma? I installed it tonight and Wow! It is fast anmd so far all of my apps work. It appears to be much better than Manjaro or Endeavour on my computer. It is optimized for speed and performance. It will be a learning curve for me as I've not used KDE for many years now. They have a Cinnamon Version which I will try, but so far I like this version with KDE Plasma. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted Monday at 08:49 AM Share Posted Monday at 08:49 AM IIRC it was mentioned somewhere in these forums several years ago. I just checked out the website and downloaded it. https://garudalinux.org/ Looks like it's come a long way since last it was mentioned. I'm still not likely to switch from Debian but curious nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm still curious about other distros, and like to check them out. Not because "I'm looking for a new one", but because you never know when you'll find something you REALLY like, and want to steal the idea for implementation on my own system. And the only other distro that I feel I may have unduly neglected in the past 15 years is OpenSUSE. It's been around a LONG time, has a solid reputation, a strong community around it, and always seems to survive Corporate meddling. It's got versions of stable and rolling releases, and is strong in enterprise. And those Germans are known for fastidious workmanship....I assume that ethos extends to software too?! It's probably the Debian of the RPM world. Don't know why I haven't done that yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhbell Posted Monday at 05:26 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 05:26 PM Linux Mint has been my primary OS since it first came out. I've never found a distro that I like better. I've downloaded and tried over 100 different distro's over the years. I like to download and test all distro's on my 14 year old computer that I built. I used the commercial versions of SuSe for many years almost from it first version. When I had a catistropic crash and lost everything I switched to Mandrake. from there to Ubuntu and then to Mint when it came out. I've been with mint since then. With 6 SSD's and replaceable docks in my computer I download different distro's and install them to try them out and see what is new or changed. This new Garuda is a big improvement from the last time I tried it. It is fast and very up to date with lots of tweeks for performance. So far I like it. I will keep the forum posted on what I find during my testing. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garuda has very pretty themes. I ran across a video showing how to make any KDE Plasma like Garuda. Might try it on a side install of Debian one rainy day.
