Hi there, while your post is technically on-topic, it would be more appropriate to post it in a community like !unixporn@lemmy.ml - that way we’re not flooded with screenshots. :)
I’ll leave this post up for now, unless we get many complaints.
Yes, I’d like to file an official complaint. What’s the P.O.Box number to post it too ? :-) On a more serious note, for OP @GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee and others, Garuda Linux turns out to have their own Lemmy instance : https://lemmy.garudalinux.org and well as a community here : https://lemmy.ml/c/garudalinux Have fun!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !garudalinux@lemmy.ml
I used Garuda in the past and was impressed. What’s cool is they have a bunch of ther own services in addition to Lemmy.

Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I’ve since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.
Fish shell FTW! :) https://fishshell.com/
Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.
Feel like most people still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons, and then just run Fish as the interactive shell
still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons,
For what it’s worth, Debian and most of its derivatives use dash (a Linux port of ash) instead of bash for /bin/sh. It’s ~4x faster and uses much less RAM than Bash. Usually the only scripts that use Bash are scripts that aren’t POSIX compliant or that use Bash-specific features.
Possibly a n00b question. What’s the benefit of fish over zsh or bash? Does it provide something extra?
I’m using zsh at the moment.
The auto suggestion from Fish shell is something I cannot live without anymore. Saves me so much time and avoiding typos. Not sure if zsh can do the same, maybe with a plugin ? If so, I’d like to hear about it. I use zsh for a few things, besides bash and fish to keep their history apart.
There IS a plugin for zsh that does exactly that and I’ve been using it without issue for a few months now!

New? Does it come with 2080 packages out of the box?
My thoughts exactly, Garuda looks out of the box like a install i’m done with and have to redo.
But to each their own, i’m not judging, i was young not too long ago.
They likely have chosen a lot of programs on the installer. I have had my current install for a few years and I’m sitting at 2029 packages
High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that’s not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄
I’m not sure what Gaduda is using, but neofetch supports various logo backends (with ASCII being the default). To get a high-resolution image, you might want to use one of the sixel/tycat/w3m/kitty backends (depending on what image protocol your terminal supports).
Garuda was my first ever distro ! A very pleasant distro, performed really well and ran everything I wanted of games with a breeze.
Ouch. Too relatable. Far too relatable. At first, it was Arch, until I found out about NixOS. Then, it was NixOS until I was having issues related to the immutability aspect of it. Then, I was going back and forth between them, neither being perfect. Later, I found Tumbleweed but that wasn’t even close to what I needed. It was Fedora, with a bunch of Copr Repos, that I’ve been on for 2 months now, that made me stop hopping as it really had it all. But I read an article about Void about a week ago, and it’s now weighing on my mind. Will the sacrifices involved with running Void, be matched by the advantages of it? I’m honestly not sure.
