- Garuda Linux “Raptor Eagle” - The Best Just Got Better | KDE 5.27.2 | Linux Zen Kernel
A quick look at the newest release of Garuda Linux. Hands down the best Arch distro available today. Now with Latte dock officially out of the distro it seems to run smoother and less resource usage OOTB. Take a look and let me know what you think in the comments below.

I think a video on a few games running on this distro would be awesome ebuzz! Great Content Dude!
Agreed
Yeah, I'd be very interested in that! Also a test on high end hardware would be in order!
Love the new intro!
Thank you so much my friend.
I commented a couple days ago that I like Garuda's toolset based on the video and as compared with my previous favorite, MX Linux. But I hadn't installed it yet.
Last night I put a dual boot of Garuda with my current daily driver, Big Linux, on my laptop, and wow! I spent some time before bed going through the feature set, and I have to say, sorry MX. You've fallen off the pinnacle.
I do play reasonably recent shooter games so I get the gamer theme. I was a teen in the '80's when neon and fluorescent was king, so my retinas have not burned out. When I'm gaming I want the fierce desktop attitude urging me on to new glory. So the theme is acceptable for now. But for work it's sort of like wearing short shorts and roller blades with a headband into the office. That can be remedied later.
The toolset is what put it over the top great for me. I love the built in checklist on installable apps. Very convenient. It's as smooth as Big Linux with all these bonus features. I guess I found my new daily.
The only change I've made so far is going with the much simpler UFW firewall.
Thanks Troy for the review!
I love the new logo and intro! Garuda is a cool distro, the aesthetic is absolutely beautiful! 😍
It really is!
This looks so much better, Troy.
I love the new intro.
I would also like to see all gaming versions video.
Can the minimize, maximize and close buttons be put on the right side?
Of course! (It's KDE Plasma after all.) Just go into Appearance->Window Decorations->Titlebar Buttons and in the example window, drag the buttons to the other side.
New intro? New pfp new banner? Awesome ^3^ learning about Linux is fasinating I wish I could get a fresh pc and just tinker with it
Amazon has some great mid-ish level computers starting at $300 such as Beelink brand. Would not go lower in price though.
I used Garuda gnome on core i5 and 8gb, I'm not a gamer but tyrian, need for speed most wanted, quake III arena and dynasty warrior running well. It's simple and powerful.
Liked and just subscribed ❤❤
I used Garuda Linux for a few months until this year January, It was the only distro so far that I have seen telling me about the health problems of my laptop battery. This should be a standard thing for any operating system. The menu bar got a bit glitchy top left and no logo showed where I had to click to open the menu. Some gaming tools install thins also failed. The biggest annoyance was not allowing me to use the headphones plugged into my standalone microphone which meant stretching the cable the whole time. If will have to check if the new version fixes suh issues. The gaming that I did with my nephew, worked pretty well mostly.
Please do a video on the gaming aspect. I am currently running Nobara, and it does pretty well, but I am very interested in seeing how it compares with Garuda.
I can't comment on how it compares to Nobara, but my experience with gaming on Garuda has been great. Almost every game I throw at it runs perfectly and performance is better than on windows.
I've had a lot better experience on Nobara. The Gaming Garuda has fried my drives on 3 occasions. Please use a system that's only used for gaming. Don't plug in any drives not formatted to anything but Btrfs. Happy Gaming.
Tried previos version of Garuda with Steam and worked very well. But would love to see how easy to install other types of games on this version of Garuda.
As an MX Tools lover, I approve of this distro.
love to see more of garuda linux,also the gaming side of things and i would like to mess with it myself ......
I really liked Garuda but it didn’t like my 4 monitors gave me all kind of trouble. But that is a great distro for sure. Good video by the way. After all the updates came out I went back to Garuda and it works great now awesome awesome distro!!
Kde should have much better multi monitor support now, with plasma 5.27 beign released.
@@ww4102 yeah it works good on Fedora 37 that’s what I went with. I really love Guruda have it on a laptop.
Try the new version. There are more people who had problems before with multi monitor setups. With the newer KDE version it should work better.
@@patricktrakzel9657 I did about 3 weeks ago runs great now no issues at all.
I have been using Garuda for many months now and find it to be great. No issues with anything including working fine with a Intel ARC GPU. Many other distros I have tried would not work with the ARC GPU.
Love the new intro
I LOVE this distro. I run it on both my desktop PC and my laptop. I got the Raptor update last week and was happy to see they dropped the Latte dock, because it was constantly crashing, especially on my laptop.
This distro is blazing fast. Perfect for gaming, coding, productivity.
I like everything about it. Haven't had a single problem with it since I started using it about 2 (I think?) years ago.
This is one of the best KDE distros out there. If the theme is too garish for you, just switch to breeze. Gaming on it straight forward and works. Overwatch works perfectly, as well as God of War and many others I have tried both from Steam and Wine. The user focused control center they created for ease of use and for noobs is fantastic. Dude, this IS the distro to go with.
I had some issues with Garuda about a month ago and nothing was working, especially games. My GPU was throttling under games when before they didn't. I decided to try again and re-installed Garuda and after the update, I saw Latte was removed. Thank the Linux Gods! Things are running SO much better. Garuda is still the best distro out there for me.
Something else I noticed after upgrading to this version. I use X11 with my GTX-1660 OC and 3 monitors. Before this upgrade, I would get screen tearing even with vsync on no matter what in games unless I turned off 2 of my 3 monitors.
Now, for whatever reason, I don't have to turn off 2 of my monitors anymore. No more screen tearing in games, etc. I don't know if it's because Latte was removed, or if the latest nVidia drivers are working better? I know the refresh under X11 with multiple monitors has issues because it's trying to refresh all of your monitors as one giant monitor because th'at's how X11 works.
Wayland would work, but things were just very flaky for me under X11 with my nVidia GPU. But whatever was changed/fixed in this latest version of Garuda, I'm very pleased. I really want to stick with Linux as my daily driver, so here's hoping that's what can happen now.
You could just uninstall Latte Dock. Garuda just keeps getting better and better.
Really would love to see a video with gaming
I just want that wallpaper 😂
The only thing is that it is rather heavy on the battery of laptops. Install 'auto-cpufreq' seems to help a bit. Installing it is easy with 'octopi´.
It is true that it is a little less battery wise, but still a world a difference better than most distros I have used.
If I could get a version of this where its CachyOS but with the tools I would be in Linux heaven!
I would live to see gaming!
Yes Want to see the gaming reviw with garuda linux
Love the new Y2K aesthetic logo!!
Thanks! 😁
I use Garuda Linux on my laptop & I love it...
0:27 Well, it looks like I was right when I told you that they changed the KDE Plasma layout. It does seem nobody wanted to maintain Latte Dock, not even the Garuda Linux team...
My fav distro was solus, now I don't have a fav, thinking to give it a try.
When I switched to garuda 6 months ago, I directly removed Latte. I only wonder full sized window drag and drop is available from panel how it was working with latte. Is it possible?
Yes, install the gaming on your business PC use it for at least 3 to 6 months.
I've been eager to try this but the previous version and this one won't let me connect to Wi-Fi from my laptop. I'm using T-mobile and it's worked wonderfully with at least 6 other distros I've tried it with. T-mobile has been excellent and I recently turned in a 430 DL, 40 UL speed test. Guess I'll wait until the next release and try it again. As an afterthought, I did try Garuda XFCE and Wi-Fi is working fantastically. It's the Dragonized versions that are giving me fits.
If you are doing it from USB, sometimes a quick reboot and it will detect your wi-fi, had this happen in the past, but once I rebooted I was able to connect to wi-fi without any issue from that point forward.
@@eBuzzCentral Thanks. It seems like it was the gamer edition was the one that was being problematic. KDE Dragonized regular works fine. I proceeded with the install but got a warning from the get go that my hardware may be unsupported. As such, I backed out and installed Zorin 16.2 instead. Dual booting with Tiny10 and all's well.
How does one move the bar to the bottom where a KDE bar should be and get rid of that icon menu at the bottom?
You already changed the intro again? I'm not sure if I like it as much as the one before it...
I just gave it another go. Still having issues with install and settings.
It took me 3 times to actually install it as it failed twice. When I tried it the third time (didn't change any settings) it actually installed OK, so go figure? I liked how the welcome screen helps you through installing extra apps.
What I don't like is that for some reason, it's switched @ and " keys on the keyboard? What sort of weird shit is that? I've tried installing various english variants (as it installed english UK) with US and no luck. With the fact I wanted to just go with a plainer KDE version anyway and with all the stuff I need to change in layouts, I think I'll give this a miss and won't be trying it again any time soon.
Yes please give us a gamng video on this Linux distro
Hey man. It's been for around two weeks straight I've been trying to install Vanilla Arch but all failed. I tried different images and setups and used different methods but all failed. Finding the answer to the errors and bugs wasn't straightforward and often so complicated addressing the problem. ArchWiki doesn't provide a straightforward method either. In my last try I finished installation but grub bootloader was missing from boot menu so I wasn't able to boot. It literally took my more than 20 hours just trying different methods and frustrated me like I've never been in 20 years of dealing with computer stuffs. Tomorrow I'll give it a last try and if it fails again I'll install Gruda.
Like the new intro far more than the last one, the old one was a little jarring
I'm going to install Garuda once my mSata SSD arrives. I want to dual boot with my old Win7 which is on a separate SSD. (I did this b4 with Manjaro): Anyway - I am wondering about partitioning: Because it seems the advice for Btrfs partitioning is different. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Sadly after install it just keeps freezing - at various points, before and after boot... Maybe my first gen i7 Dell Precision laptop just can't handle it? Shame...
What should I do to make sure I get all of my battery life? I have an AMD 5800H processor and an AMD 6700M GPU in my MSI A5EFK.
Please do a video on Garuda gaming!
Intro music is nice and relaxing
Please give me the name or link of the music
I would like to see a video on gaming.
I'm using it right now. If you like it as it is, great, otherwise it's too much tweaked and for me that does not work. I prefer to tweak by my self. The new "dock" is too meeeh.
How do you like using the dock now?
Garuda is definitely one of the prettiest distros out of the box.
Unfortunately I've always found it unstable on my middle aged hardware.
I am learning Linux as much as possible, but I was wondering if I could install Garuda to overwrite Mint, or do I need a complete uninstall of Mint then reinstall Garuda. Thankyou.
If you've already backed up everything you need, then just run the installer from Garuda live usb. It will give you the option to overwrite everything. It will wipe your old install for you.
@@hjf3022 Thankyou for the info. I will try.
I cannot get OBS Studio to download , I have tried all the options on the software centre......I have it working fine on other computers but not Garuda.
sudo pacman -S obs-studio type that in terminal and it should work out for you
@@eBuzzCentral Easy….so much better than using what is on Octopi
I want to try this distro. Now that theyve got rid of Latte I might just install it on my extra drive. I do wish they'd tone down the look a little more though. I also dont like the icons. Now Im aware at how easy it is to change the icons. However I have never found any other icons that complement the look of Garuda but still look sane and dont look out of place with non themed icons. This is why I prefer more conservative themes.
Try Oreo
Doesn’t really take a lot of effort to change the icons and such to be honest
@@thatguynar No it doesnt as I also said but finding an icon set that fits does.
@@databug I honestly just default to papirus all the time unless I feel like spending a bit more time looking for icons
@@thatguynar Yeh Papirus is my Favourite too. When I theme I like to keep some of the look of the distro while toning it down a bit and adjusting a few things for my use. So for Garuda I try to keep the pink color. Heck Im probably just making things hard for myself and should just theme it how I want it rather than constrain myself :).
As ubuntu does, latte-dock should be part of stock kde for better personalization out-of-the-box
Latte doc is no longer being developed, it has been dropped and nobody has picked it up
Last time I tried Garuda, I had stability issues with the docks when I tried to change them. They'd disappear and have to recreate them every few sessions for some reason. In the end it was too much stuffing around for my liking. Each to their own.
If the last time you tried it was with the Latte-dock, you should give it another shot now since they are using Plasma panels.
The dock looks weird, I would maybe try Cairo dock on it if I used it again.
I love this i just left windows
Same here. I almost landed on Nobara, but happy I found Garuda.
Do a video on Gaming!
The only problem i have with garuda is i want multiple versions of programs if i choose, which pacman doesn't support.
I don't know I tried it it took too long to download once I got it on my PC there was some headless software collision with another package decided to delete headless in the whole it basically the whole update broke then it started to visually break I noticed and I don't feel like doing that reinstalling it again because it took hours might go to a different distro when I regain patience
How are you making your intros?
What happened with intro that was like
Ayayayaaaaaaa "woman writing on mac"
Tu tut tut tutu tut
Key board
Channel name
Wanted to go with something more subdued ....
For me, anything debian is better. just my opinion.
is there a chance for me to be helped as an architect from linux?
please give me some guide im new with linux, im using archicad, photoshop, autocad, lumion and simillar programs
But great distro
garuda linux is just made to look pretty (thats my opinion)
It is also a professional system.
@@radja7589 its not, you say that cuz its based on arch btw (most arch users are hobbyist)
I have Garuda dragonized for about 1 year now . Didn't let me down ... but it's a bit heavy on the memory ...so I'm going to switch to Raptor plus thus new version has some upgrades in security and UI
high ram usage is intentional by garuda to make the system as snappy as possible
zram
What about Garuda linux vs Nobara linux?
TempleOS
Why doesn't Garuda offer root access for Linux runners that need it.
Stay away from Garuda Gaming on main work machine, if you have multiple drives and SSDs or plugging in storage/back up drives, important family photos/videos backup drives not formatted in Btrfs. It still doesn't play nice. Otherwise have at it
I tried Garuda last night. I got it installed and then just went to hell. I probably didn't know what I was doing. I tried updating the system and got all kinds of errors about keyrings, and failed to download this and that.... all kinds of errors... it looks cool though. The browser just kept crashing on twitch and youtube...
I have a laptop for my daughter that she installed garuda on. It is not bad overall, but I want to give some lessons learned:
Garuda is really strange. They use the zen kernel which made the 2 laptops that I used it on unreliable. Random crashes multiple times every day. Changed it to the arch kernel and the instabilities are gone. The distribution lists the normal kernel as "experimental" - WTF?
Other decision they make aren't better, let's not get too deep into details. ZRAM is one of them. Not bad, but as default might be a bit strange.
To sum it up, just use a distribution that has a good reputation, such as
opensuse, debian, fedora, ubuntu, mint and many others.
If you know what you do you can of course take arch, or whatever. But then you will probably avoid garuda.
Don't like the left side buttons
in terms usability it is suck without latte dock, just sad no more latte dock
the iso is borken
The aesthetics look like something a 14-year-old might find cool, and the stability just isn't there. I don't recommend installing it, especially if you are a Linux beginner or don't want to jump into the distro hopping hellfire
That's odd that you should say that, because my 16-year-old and 14-year-old use them as daily drivers everyday. And neither one of them have had issues that they couldn't overcome. It's rather easy to use easy to set up and gives you plenty of tools to fix issues should you have them.
