Garuda Linux is an appealing Arch Linux based Distro with BTRFS (modern filesystem), Linux-zen kernel, auto snapshots, gaming edition and a lot more bleeding-edge features.
I like the fact that Garuda uses the Calamares installer. I have Arch on a few computers/servers and I haven’t always been able to stick the landing on installation the first time around. I don’t install operating systems for a living so the easier the better.
I already use btrfs on my Arch installs and it seems fine for general desktop use, so I wouldn’t be too nervous about that aspect of Garuda if you have a good backup policy.
What are you using now?
