Features
Rolling Release
Garuda Linux is a rolling release distro based on Arch Linux, which ensures always getting the latest software updates.
We only use one extra repo on top of Arch Linux repos, placing us very close to Arch Linux without having to install the system with CLI.
Linux-zen
A faster, more-responsive Linux kernel optimized for desktop, multimedia, and gaming.
Result of a collaborative effort of kernel hackers to provide the best Linux kernel possible for everyday systems.
Ease of Use
We use micro as the default, terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and intuitive, while taking advantage of the capabilities of modern terminals.
Garuda Linux offers you various GUI tools for managing system settings out of the box to make your jumpstart easier.
Always Free
Garuda Linux will always be completely free. We create it to have a Linux-based operating system that is easy to use.
Focus on Performance
Our goal is to provide a distro that focuses only on performance while making it beautiful. Thats why we made some (sane) performance tweaks.
1. Improved I/O performance. | |
2. CPU scheduler set to performance - optional: install power-saving tweaks. | |
3. ZRAM enabled by default. | |
4. Nohang, an OOM prevention daemon. | |
5. As well as Ananicy, which automatically sets nice levels on your system. |
