Garuda Linux
Garuda Linux is a x86-64 general-purpose Linux distribution, based on Arch Linux operating system. It is available in a wide range of popular Linux desktop environments, including modified versions of the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment. The term Garuda, originating from Hinduism, is defined as a divine eagle-like sun bird and the king of birds. It features a rolling release update model using Pacman as its package manager. Garuda Linux uses a rolling release model, meaning that there are no "major releases" of completely new versions of the system; a regular system update is all that is needed to obtain the latest software from the Arch Linux repository. Installation images are released every month by the Arch team which are simply up-to-date snapshots of the main system comonents, similiar to the Arch Linux operating system. History 
Garuda Linux was released on the 26th of March, 2020. Developed and maintained by developers around the world. It was founded by Shrinivas Vishnu Kumbhar, a university student from India and SGS from Germany. Features 
Garuda Linux installation process is done with Calamares, a graphical installer. The rolling release model means that the user does not need to upgrade/reinstall the whole operating system to keep it up-to-date inline with the latest release. Garuda Linux uses systemd as its init software. Package management is handled by Pacman via command line, and front-end UI package manager tools such as the pre-installed Pamac. It can be configured as either a stable system (default) or bleeding edge in line with Arch. Garuda Linux includes colorized UI which comes in various options, with the option to further customize the user preferences. Desktop environments 
Garuda Linux provides many releases with various desktop environments and package defaults. All have Arch Linux as their base and the Garuda Linux Team provide their own additional package builds via Chaotic-AUR which is part of all releases. Garuda Downloader is a tool provided by the Garuda Linux team for Windows and Linux to download the latest official release of all editions. System requirements
