Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I've since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.
Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.
Feel like most people still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons, and then just run Fish as the interactive shell
still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons,
For what it's worth, Debian and most of its derivatives use dash (a Linux port of ash) instead of bash for /bin/sh. It's ~4x faster and uses much less RAM than Bash. Usually the only scripts that use Bash are scripts that aren't POSIX compliant or that use Bash-specific features.
I use fish, have never once written a fish script. Just write bash scripts and they tend to work fine, otherwise run em in bash
just change it yourself
Possibly a n00b question. What’s the benefit of fish over zsh or bash? Does it provide something extra?
I’m using zsh at the moment.
The auto suggestion from Fish shell is something I cannot live without anymore. Saves me so much time and avoiding typos. Not sure if zsh can do the same, maybe with a plugin ? If so, I'd like to hear about it. I use zsh for a few things, besides bash and fish to keep their history apart.
There IS a plugin for zsh that does exactly that and I've been using it without issue for a few months now!

Thanks. Got it installed, and works after reading the Debian README :
Installation
Add the following to your
.zshrc:source /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
then start a new terminal session.
Tips
- To mimic fish's auto-completion by pressing Ctrl+F
bindkey '^F' autosuggest-accept
Last time I checked it's like zsh but preconfigured and dumbed down. Like the zsh4humans repo, but worse.
New? Does it come with 2080 packages out of the box?
My thoughts exactly, Garuda looks out of the box like a install i'm done with and have to redo.
But to each their own, i'm not judging, i was young not too long ago.
There is a plain kde version that doesn't have all the gamer color flare, forums won't support you tho, which isn't a problem if you know what you're doing
They likely have chosen a lot of programs on the installer. I have had my current install for a few years and I'm sitting at 2029 packages
I did select a number of programs to install during setup so I had everything I needed. Spot on!
Hi there, while your post is technically on-topic, it would be more appropriate to post it in a community like !unixporn@lemmy.ml - that way we're not flooded with screenshots. :)
I'll leave this post up for now, unless we get many complaints.
Yes, I'd like to file an official complaint. What's the P.O.Box number to post it too ? :-) On a more serious note, for OP @GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee and others, Garuda Linux turns out to have their own Lemmy instance : https://lemmy.garudalinux.org and well as a community here : https://lemmy.ml/c/garudalinux Have fun!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !garudalinux@lemmy.ml
That's really cool! Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing, since I've just subscribed to the community.
I used Garuda in the past and was impressed. What's cool is they have a bunch of ther own services in addition to Lemmy.

Sorry about that. I'll keep that in mind if this gets taken down. Thanks!
High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that's not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄
I'm not sure what Gaduda is using, but neofetch supports various logo backends (with ASCII being the default). To get a high-resolution image, you might want to use one of the sixel/tycat/w3m/kitty backends (depending on what image protocol your terminal supports).
I think they have a version of neofetch on the chaotic aur repository that they use
Oh I see, thank you!
Will definitely play around with that tomorrow :)
Ikr! It’s so good that I’m thinking of trying geruda. Maybe just for the logo alone lmao
Garuda was my first ever distro ! A very pleasant distro, performed really well and ran everything I wanted of games with a breeze.
I'm a huge fan of Garuda. Enjoy!
Please share more as you keep using it.
Smells like dark cherries
at first I loved garuda then I realized how bloated it is
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.
