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.

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!
Garuda has multiple ISOs, ranging from almost bare to batteries + power plant included. This appears to be the most heavy one, which is great to get to know cool software, but also an Arch veterans nightmare.
