About

Garuda Linux is an Arch Linux–based operating system designed to deliver a balance of performance, usability, and visual appeal while making the traditionally complex Arch ecosystem more accessible. It follows a rolling release model, meaning the system is continuously updated with the latest software instead of requiring major version upgrades. It emphasizes ease of use by providing a graphical installer and GUI tools for system management, allowing users to perform most tasks without relying heavily on the command line. Garuda uses the Btrfs file system by default, enabling automatic snapshots before system updates, which allows users to restore their system easily in case of issues. It includes performance-focused components such as the Linux-zen kernel and various scheduler options to improve responsiveness and system speed. It supports multiple desktop environments, with a heavily customized KDE Plasma interface as the default.

About

After a long development cycle (including many betas and release candidates to get everything just exactly perfect) we're pleased to announce the availability of the new stable release. You'll find updates throughout the system, with the latest development tools and recent versions of applications, window managers, desktop environments, and utilities. The Linux kernel is updated to version 4.4.14 (part of the 4.4.x kernel series that will be getting long-term support from the kernel developers). We've brought together the best of these and other modern components and worked our magic on them. If you've used Slackware before, you'll find the system feels like home. Want to give Slackware 14.2 a test drive without modifying your disk drive? Then check out Slackware Live Edition! This is a complete Slackware installation that can run from a CD, DVD, or USB stick. Build scripts for all kinds of additional software for Slackware 14.2 are also available.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Extremely stable even the rolling version (current) is more stable than most production systems. Does not alter upstream packages unless absolutely necessary. It follows a consistent Unix base so you learn Gnu Linux linearly and your knowledge is generic.

Cons

  • It is not suitable for users who are unwilling to learn some terminal commands and how the system works behind fluffy GUIs.
