This might not be worthy of this community, it's what I've got. I think this screenshot still looks alright, though. Hope you enjoy.

I switched over to Nobara, from Garuda, on my desktop. I was using Nobara because I have a M$ Surface Pro 4, and wanted a distro with the linux-surface stuff baked into the kernel, what with being lazy and all.
Thinking I might switch back to Garuda for my DT pc, just liked it better. Nobara runs most everything I need it to fine. Just having the same distro on a load of different devices is a bit dull.
I went from Nobara to Garuda. My biggest concern was that it was maintained by one (very awesome) dude. It's generally great. I decided to go with Garuda because I like the workflow of Arch but didn't want to spend a day setting it up. Also, I gained some noticeable performance on the few games I play.
I didn't notice any performance changes in gaming myself, with the one exception of the Metro games, which had really bad screen tearing. That said I have an NVIDIA gfx card sooooo......
Definitely having just G-eggroll as the sole maintainer of Nobara is a bit worrying. The reason I'm switching back to Garuda is definitely about workload of Arch over Fedora. I'm also a big fan of not spending 8hrs manually configuring Arch.
That was my concern with Nobara as well. That and the wonky patching process (on the command line), a footgun I used on myself recently. I've been on Fedora for a few months. Maybe it is time to give Garuda a go.
I'd definitely recommend it if gaming is something you do, as Garuda is a gaming-centric distro. I've had a decent experience with Nobara, but think I'm going to move away from it other than on my Surface.
It is, yeah. Nobara has been great for the most part. Though it isn't as polished as I've found Mint to be (without more contributors I don't see how it could be). But really the only reason I switched was for GPU support that the 6.x kernel provided.
I haven't tried mint in, I think, about a decade...but Garuda is very polished, there's definitely some occasional weirdness but that's something to be expected in any distro that's relatively new. I've had great experiences with the official forums, any time I had an issue I wasn't able to figure out on my own and made a post, I'd have one or more of the devs popin and give either a solution or endorse one that had been given by a different user.
Thinking about it,I'm definitely going to switch back this weekend. Might even stop being lazy and integrate the surface stuff into Garuda's kernel....might.
Good to hear all that, and thanks! I will give it a whirl and see what happens. Best of luck on your project.
You too
Ah hello fellow Garuda user and Star Trek fan.
May you and your OS Live Long and Prosper.
Amazing wallpaper and look in general. I share your enthusiasm. I also was a distro-hopper and Garuda is the one that made me settle a long time ago. Amazing performance even in low end devices. I use it in a Lenovo yoga11e with a Celeron and even that runs smooth. Hope you share your wallpaper :D
I linked the site I found the wallpaper at in another comment. There are some great ones there.
Afraid that comment isn't showing. Mind sharing it again?
Looks clean!
