![]() In fact, the aesthetic qualities are what prompted me to try Garuda Linux. Click on any of the thumbnails to view a slideshow of the images. The customization of Garuda Linux extends to an excellent GRUB menu theme and splash screen. The look of Garuda is illustrated in the following set of screenshots. The effort to enhance the beauty of the distribution extends to the GRUB theme and GRUB splash screen, which was improved between the 210421 ISO releases, changing the already unique theme to an even more impressive one. The appearance is defined by a modified Sweet global theme named Sweetified - available in dark mode only, a matching Kvantuum application style theme, and BeautyLine icons, and a Sugar Candy based SDDM theme. The developers enable many animations (or Desktop Effects) provided by the Plasma window manager, Kwin, including for example, the Cover Switch ALT + TAB task switching animation, Zoom Desktop when logging in, Magic Lamp when minimizing windows, and Wobbly Windows among others, mimicking the macOS animations. Other modifications to Plasmashell include additions to the screen edge gesture configurations such as a left edge gesture to switch from the first desktop named "Desktop" to the second of two preconfigured desktops named "Offscreen". The configuration of the GUI shell happens to be similar to how I customize Plasma on any distribution, but I achieve the look of top panel with a native Plasmashell application menu panel and the Active Window Control and Global Menu widgets. The top panel is reminiscent of Unity in its look and behavior, while the overall look of the configuration is very similar to macOS. Garuda's Plasmashell also includes a bottom Latte dock. The most radical of the customizations is the replacement of the typical Plasmashell configuration of a single bottom panel encapsulating a task switcher, system tray, and launcher widget with a configuration that uses a top panel rendered by Latte in panel mode that contains the current Plasma default Application Launcher, as well as the Window Buttons, Window Title, Window AppMenu, the Plasma System Tray, and the Event Calandar widgets. The KDE Dragonized Edition is extensively modified from the vanilla Plasma desktop compared to the slight customizations offered by other distributions. This article specifically reviews the KDE Dragonized Edition (sometimes stylized as Dr460nized) - one of the three highly customized Dragonized variants featuring the Plasma desktop out of a total of four Plasma editions and nine others that feature other desktop environments or window managers. ![]() For example, as discussed in this article and the installation supplement, it only allows the Btrfs filesystem during installation - probably to simplify user support, and less importantly, does not provide a light theme version of its beautiful dark theme, as requested by users in its forum. ![]() It is also differentiated from Arch based distributions, and especially from Arch itself, by being opinionated, not offering choice in certain aspects of the installed system.
