In this episode I continue my series where I try seven Linux gaming distros to see how they work for someone new to Linux. I use a second PC built from parts I upgraded from my own and my son’s systems, which lets me try each distro without worrying about my main setup.

In this video I boot into the Garuda live environment, start the installer, choose the language and keyboard, pick the correct drive, and let it install. After rebooting I go through the first updates, look at the tools that appear, and check out the KDE based desktop, theme and layout.

I run Steam, install Starfire which is the game I use throughout the series, connect the controller and try it out. The game launches and plays as expected. While trying to edit the panel, it causes the system to freeze, so I finish up there because I have seen what I needed to see.

Thank you for watching. Feel free to leave a comment or even an emoji to support the channel.
