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.

What does this distro do differently than others or plain vanilla Garuda?
Who is Doctor 460 and what are their qualifications?!
You meant Dr460nf1re, or Dragonfire.
The different Garuda varients sans the gaming version are different desktop environments. Garuda just happens to support a lot. The gaming version of dragonized (which is KDE) is just dragonized with preinstalled gaming apps, probably the ones featured on their garuda gamer app
Correct, ~~plus RetroArch and cores on another tab~~.
edit: also auto installs and sets up some backend services, like Firewall etc.
edit2: correction, does not automatically install RetroArch, but easy enough to install it with the Garuda Gamer options.
Pre-installs and configures most of what you need for gaming, so you can just remove the parts you don’t want, which is generally easier than a base install and having to add to it.
edit: and it’s trivial to install a different DE and/or de-dr460nize the interface.
