From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Garuda Linux
Bootable Snapper snapshots enabled by default
This really is my favorite Garuda feature - it's saved my install more than once so that I can roll back a messy update, figure out what broke and why it broke, and then make sure the next update works
Fish shell by default with auto-complete previews as you type and lots of great aliases
You can get pretty much everything Fish Shell does with a well configured Zshell pus more. Fish also smells.
And you can get pretty much everything garuda with a well configured Arch plus more but that would take ages to do
That why i like garuda, its roughly where id want my arch settup without the hassle.
Post install wizard for easily adding common applications
Besides Wiki and AUR that all Arch derivatives share, they have their own wiki that documents the changes they're made to Arch and a very good forum for help
Nvidia driver installation options that correctly set the mode setting, dkms drivers installed ootb, common apps like GreenWithEnvy ootb, great Nvidia support
A lot of people think it's just Arch with an installer and lots of bloat and a neon theme but it's a lot more than that.
