Garuda absolutely nails it with their helper app that sets you up with a choice of popular software, handles updates, and gives you easy access to common settings.

It makes it very approachable for people new to Linux.

If you get to the point where you decide you want a distro that is not immutable, try Garuda, it’s where I went after Bazzite. It is also gaming focused and has a great helper app to install most of the things most people need and do updates.

Let’s be honest, neither is perfect, but only one party is gutting all the parts of government that actually help anyone.

There’s a difference between being two faced with foreign policy and actively breaking the machinery that let’s your own government function.

I use Garuda, you just install the Nvidia version and the updater handles updates automatically whenever you run it.

Easy peasy.

Xfce user, here to represent!

I love it and haven’t had any trouble. Try it out!

Bazzite was my first and was great and easy. If you don’t like the immutable aspect, check out Garuda.

Bazzite was my first first into Linux. I loved it overall, the thing that eventually made me switch was that the login screen background was locked behind immutability. It’s stupid, but matters to me. I’m on Garuda now and it has been great too.

I tried Bazzite as my first try with Linux for a while and liked it; it was super easy. I didn’t like that the immutability went so far as to lock me out of some parts of the OS that I thought should be open, like lock screen customization.

Now I am on Garuda Arch and it has been really easy too.

Yeah, but that old technology is what still lets me run a 13 year old version of Adobe creative suite. If that ever changes I will have to learn something new!

I heard some recent steam thing made it pretty great now? Or was that just marketing talking?
