Garuda Linux


Last Update: 2025-03-08 11:06 UTC


Garuda Linux is a rolling distribution based on the Arch Linux operating system. Unlike Arch Linux, Garuda Linux comes with a graphical installer (Calamares) for easy installation, and other advanced graphical tools for managing your system. Garuda is a performance-oriented distro with many performance enhancing tweaks. Some of the many tweaks include using zram, a performance CPU governor, along with custom memory management software. Garuda Linux has striven to provide system stability by including the Timeshift backup utility.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 18 (409), 6 months: 22 (393), 3 months: 19 (455), 4 weeks: 12 (725), 1 week: 19 (546)

Average visitor rating: 8.39/10 from 255 review(s).
