Garuda Linux has displaced deepin os, which was known for its beauty.
I never tried deepin os, because of security concerns as it is Chinese, and there had been allegations against deepin recently.
I will try garuda maybe in a month or more.
Garuda is surprisingly made in India, and looks better than BOSS Linux
Nice. Looks like they basically added all QOL improvements by default rather than giving a vanilla desktop and letting the users do it. At a glance I can see the Latte dock in the bottom and I think Kvantum is installed by default which is why there is that gaussian blur in the window backgrounds.*www.techrepublic.com/google-amp/ar...in-linux-as-the-most-beautiful-linux-desktop/

And it's based on Arch. That's even better.

Its cool, and maybe it can lure some new people into linux? The theme doesn't super impress me though, but the distro is especially user friendly, and that's a thing we always need in linux.
Nice. PS I first read that as " गरुदा"
Definitely

Yupp, For theme, dont try the dragonised, or as the call it dr460nised theme. Instead, use simple KDE theme, and it is good to go
It's just KDE.

No, they give other DE's too, but the dragon theme was too colorful for my liking

How many of you prefer latte dock style desktop vs windows style (cinnamon)

Latte dock desktop is good for using gimp or similar apps. Whilst windows style is good for smaller apps. I prefer latte dock, as it takes a bit less space on windows border.
But it has compatibility issues with some apps, not made for specific DEs

why would anyone want to use this when they can just install arch with KDE? thats much simpler
I think this is good for non-Tinkerers. If you had to get the same setup with Arch, you'd have to install KDE, enable compositing, install Kvantum, install a theme for Kvantum that supports blurring windows, install latte dock, install icon theme, etc. This gives all of that out of the box and configured to be optimized.
You can use both together as well. Though it works better if you have the taskbar on the top and the dock at the bottom. Some people configure KDE to have a Mac-like active window menu bar in the taskbar and put the takbar on the top.

If you think arch is hard you probably shouldn't be using it. Or atleast shouldn't be using some "installer" to make things "easy" and skip the process.
Archs philosophy is to keep things simple and all these arch based just deviate from it...

Simple has two meanings. It can mean simple as in easy and simple as in lean. Arch is the latter, which is why it is one of the most customizable distros.

The trailer made me energetic and happy at the same time!
See, the best thing about linux is there is no hardware limitations to use it, that's why the most weakest devices on earth (and beyond) run linux. Though, if your hardware can run windows 10, I won't say you would face any problems using linux.
Yes you can, but I would suggest just trying out linux using live USB first. Just burn the linux ISO (I would suggest POPOS/Manjaro as the distro) and boot it as you do while installing windows. You can just use linux without installing a single thing!

If your pc uses newer components, make sure to check compatibility by booting into live CD. Also if you are using Linux first time, go with Ubuntu or its flavours like mint, kubuntu etc.
