This video is what sold me on getting Garuda. Once you opened Tales From The Borderlands with a simple command to run it with WINE, I was blown away. Gaming on Linux has never been easier!
Awesome video. Thank you for making it. I've been trying to find videos on Garuda and came across yours. Im still knew to linux. Have only been using it for 4 days. I'm very happy to see they have some distros geared for gaming. Liked and subscribed, man, keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more.
It took some work getting everything set up, especially retroarch's PS2 core. I can't stand the built in shaders in Duckstation and PCSX2, so without reshade in linux applications I panicked when Retroarch kept crashing on PS2 when I needed it for CRT-royale. Just in case anyone else is running into that problem, apart from working BIOS in the specified directory, you also need to copy the "resources" folder from a real PCSX2 installation into that folder. In fact, just copy as many folders as you can find, but especially resources. I've got Steam, GoG, SNES, PS1, PS2 going already, but one annoying thing is that my PS4 controller keeps getting "disconnected", so I have to plug it out and in again. No idea why it happens. (Edit: oh I just heard you have that too, let me know if you solve it?). Apart from that, things are pretty good right now, I don't expect I will be forced to boot into windows too often anymore.
I’d personally download Garuda dragonized instead of the dragonized-gamer you can use Garuda gamer to add in just what you want so it’s not so bloated and will be exactly the same. I know I really don’t have need of 75 or so kde mini games 😅
Wanna switch from win10 by the end of support date. Total newbie to linux. My use case is vid recording/twitchstreaming an some basic editing. I do alot of gaming and emulation. I also watch youtube netflix dinsey+ amazon prime and i like google chrome and firefox for net browsing. Not a big fan of telemetry. Acer nitro5 gaming laptop Nvid geforce gtx 1650 Amd ryzen 3550h cpu 20 gb am 256 gb ssd 1tb hdd Also i use my ps4 pad for my pc gaming and also use wiimotes for lightgun games. One extra thing is i like how batocera seems from the vids i saw but i heard its meant to be used offline as its notsecure
the best at garuda is i was trying 1 week to get run at terminal and kernel as linux noob amd free sync premium as in other linux's and at the end i found out its default on at garuda :D the first thing i do at garuda was use other designs all the stuff who not look like windows are good :D
I am thinking of trying Garuda. Currently using Nobara which I like but the games are hard to play. There are large black streaks flashing through them. The streaks go solid at some points; like looking through binoculars or behind a bush. This only occurs in games, not other apps. Regards
I tried Garuda on virtualbox but it want not recognize my xbox one controller. Any solution? I tried a lot of things on the terminal but without any luck
I will be the only one saying the opposite about this Distro. Sadly, none of my Linux compatible games and the ones with Proton compatibility worked. I made sure all Mesa drivers, Vulkan and Proton were exactly configured and updated…my games simply did not launch or got only a black screen. So far, the only Distro where I can play my Steam titles is OpenSUSE, so I guess I’m going back to it.
*QUESTION* You right-clicked on Tales From The Borderlands .EXE file to run with WINE. OK... the question is, does that game not have to run an installation? I want to play a particular MMO, nearly 27Gb installed in Windows. In a VMWare Workstation VM of Garuda, I set up Bottles and got the online installer, and the game opens and runs. Mouse control is completely shot, but I'm running an emulator through a VM so I'm not expecting perfection, just to see that it works. How does the right-click run with WINE work with something like this?
It doesn't matter if you're using Wine Windows Program Loader or Bottles, the question is, is it working for you? Video games have to be installed on your hard drive, and the choice of installation method is yours. This type of freedom is the beauty of Linux.
I've been using Garuda for over a year now, and it's been fine, except for pacman, which gives me problems just about every single update. I'm done with arch based distros for that reason
fornite and cod (some) are not supported, its all mostly epics fault, since they toggled the switch off for fortnite etc, anti cheats are a huge problem gaming in linux.
@@yadpreet7454 I heard games with Valve Anti Cheat (aka VAC) usually do not work on linux, especially CS:GO and Garry's Mod. And I wonder if games with PunkBuster (ex. Far Cry 3) also don't work? Because they would 99% not work.
I have a question. I know that Garuda recommends not dual booting with it, but is it really a problem? I just don't want to remove Windows straight away.
Nope it's good but I wouldn't recommend it because it has alot of bugs and glitches instead use linux mint or fedora I won't say Garuda is bad but because it is based on arch linux it's pretty overwhelming and might break if you don't maintain it well
wait i shouldnt use arch? oh shit yapping incoming seriously though, i haven't used garuda. Arch has been going pretty good for me so far (with Steam games atleast, but you know Valve wants to use Linux on their Steam Deck. psst, i think steamos uses arch) yes i use a NVIDIA GPU, so wayland is gonna be a problem for me
I mean I definitely wouldn't use Garuda but I can understand why many people find Arch based distros scary, there is a lot less hand holding and much more potential to break your system
scary... these forks are just arch but waste your time less with configurations already in place @@First_Grafter plus whatever bonuses that fork offers, like an altered kernel or different init system
There is far too much that still doesn't work natively in Linux. Wine doesn't run a lot of stuff. None of the games I play ran on Garuda at all. I was able to change my wallpaper though since apparently that is important?
no because of anti cheat being kernel based and those just dont support any linux so this goes same with Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant... there... are work around with running them through VMs to run Windows tho someordinarygamers already did that
According to the discord, there has been no new ban report since 6/6/2023 and it was because star rail. From what I recall, jenshin stopped caring, so to speak, as long as you don't do anything fishy, you should be fine. Heck, I've never been banned myself on any of the three games. That said, your experience may vary.

I've been trying to play on garuda, a true pain as all of linux distros, still windows stays the number 1 to play any game
that wallpaper looks dope
This video's title is correct because I have been using garuda for years now.

Nobara seems really early days and rudimentary - really hope it gets better soon
I try doing the gaming one u have but it didn't want to update
I tried Garuda on virtualbox but it want not recognize my xbox one controller. Any solution? I tried a lot of things on the terminal but without any luck
Hdmi does not work in this. I tried everything. It just wouldn't connect to the external monitor

I have a question is it possible to install garuda on top of windows and dual boot without making a partition for garuda ? please help
without making a partition you would need another ssd/hdd or you could create a virtual machine with passthrough if you have an extra gpu.
slow loading times on Garuda.. its on a SSD right? like it recommended?, just making an usb for an Garuda install
Use plain arch, it's better supported

Just use plain arch, add x86_64 v3 cachyos repos, chaotic aur and ur set with all stuff for performance and gaming.
I know that it can be a stupid question, but I have never used a linux, can it run easy anti cheat games (ex. Fortnite, squad, vrchat, etc.)?

It's up to you.
@@megakingsmanzero I guess that's about the most Linux thing you could say. 😁 I did end up dual booting it. So far, so good.
My game crashes when i enter one
Did I made mistake using POP OS? As my gaming/everyday machine.
Nope it's good but I wouldn't recommend it because it has alot of bugs and glitches instead use linux mint or fedora
I won't say Garuda is bad but because it is based on arch linux it's pretty overwhelming and might break if you don't maintain it well
Kubuntu or linux mint are the best for everyday/gaming setup period
Not if it works well
If you like it and it works there's nothing wrong with it. What distro is the best is personal and a preference. Not purely facts
i would say that i would switch but you cannot play valorant
hello, what is your desktop? gnome? kde? and which one would you recommend for the best experience, performence (also in games)
he's using kde plasma, and i'd also recommend kde
I have an intel graphics card, would Garuda be ok?
Ya unless you dont have more than 6 gb vram
I have a Intel HD-4000 gpu with 1.5gb vram in my laptop and it seems to run just fine
wait i shouldnt use arch?
oh shit
yapping incoming
seriously though, i haven't used garuda. Arch has been going pretty good for me so far (with Steam games atleast, but you know Valve wants to use Linux on their Steam Deck. psst, i think steamos uses arch)
yes i use a NVIDIA GPU, so wayland is gonna be a problem for me
I mean I definitely wouldn't use Garuda but I can understand why many people find Arch based distros scary, there is a lot less hand holding and much more potential to break your system
scary... these forks are just arch but waste your time less with configurations already in place @@First_Grafter plus whatever bonuses that fork offers, like an altered kernel or different init system
Don't use this or Manjaro, they will break
What a shame, Garuda looks so good and promising. Any alternatives to it (non-arch based pls)?
Is it better than CachyOs?
No.
Video is okay downloaded tried dual boot with win10, surprise Garuda could not install bootloader 🤨
Did you disable secure boot in your bios ? Windows secure boot will not let any other os Dual boot unless you turn off secure boot.
They say on the website that it's not recommended to dualboot Garuda with Windows 10, because it might lead to unexpected unwanted errors.
the buttons of minimize and max and etc r so fkin annoying for a windows user xd in that position.
Yes, the buttons can be annoying sometimes, but changes could be made.
@@megakingsmanzero what os maded this buttons in the righ? XD mac os?
There is far too much that still doesn't work natively in Linux. Wine doesn't run a lot of stuff. None of the games I play ran on Garuda at all. I was able to change my wallpaper though since apparently that is important?
LOL
how does it deal with kernel level anti cheat? How does it handle AAA games that everyone plays, Not well. Linux is close but not there yet.
Garuda -> Indian
I love that foreigner people love the work from Indian community!
Can it play genshin?
no because of anti cheat being kernel based and those just dont support any linux so this goes same with Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant... there... are work around with running them through VMs to run Windows tho someordinarygamers already did that
@@veguasaru can install this from unofficial ways but some time the anti cheat system well cached u so that well give ban from the game

You shouldn't want to play kernel based anti cheat games broski. Shit's going too far
@@gagozutv2235No one cares. If i cant Play the Game i like without it i'll stay a slave
