Arch Linux
Arch Linux is an independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that strives to provide the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model. The default installation is a minimal base system, configured by the user to only add what is purposely required. Arch Linux defines simplicity as without unnecessary additions or modifications. It ships software as released by the original developers (upstream) with minimal distribution-specific (downstream) changes, patches not accepted by upstream are avoided, and Arch's downstream patches consist almost entirely of backported bug fixes that are obsoleted by the project's next release. Arch ships the configuration files provided by upstream with changes limited to distribution-specific issues like adjusting the system file paths. It does not add automation features such as enabling a service simply because the package was installed.

Garuda Linux
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.
