<section class="docs-section" id="item-1-5">
<h2 class="section-heading">Before Installation</h2>
<p>The hardware requirements might seem high at first but this is mostly due to Calamares taking a lot of RAM during installation and some other performance enhancing applications used. For window managers the actual needed specs are lower than KDE requirements. A thumbdrive of 4GB is needed for regular versions while the gaming edition needs 8GB space.
</p>
<p>KDE Dr460nized requirements:</p>
<ul>
<p><strong class="mr-1">Minimum requirements:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>30 GB storage</li>
<li>4 GB RAM</li>
<li>Video card with OpenGL 3.3 or better</li>
<li>64-bit system</li>

<p>Below is the rough suggested installation procedure, a quite detailed video is available as well. If you are doing manual partitioning during the process it is advised to create the partitions with Gparted (find it in the start menu) prior to starting Calamares as it is a known problem that more complex partition layouts might not get created properly. If you have a MacBook pro, we have a dedicated wiki article which helps with the installation!</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">Installation Procedure</h2>
<p>
<li>Boot the PC and press the manufacturers key to open the menus. </li>
<li>Reset BIOS to factory default and reboot.</li>
<li>Disable fastboot in BIOS settings.</li>
<li>Go to security > secure Boot and disable secure boot in BIOS settings.</li>
<li> Make sure that SATA controller is set to AHCI mode in BIOS settings.</li>
<li>If your firmware supports UEFI then set your BIOS settings to UEFI only.</li>
<li>Create a bootable USB using DD/Etcher/Ventoy, if using Rufus make sure to use DD mode to flash the iso to usb.</li>
<li>From the firmware menu boot to usb drive while in UEFI or BIOS mode:
You might see separate commands for the same device. For example, you might see UEFI USB Drive and BIOS USB drive. Each command uses the same device and media but boots the PC in a different firmware mode. We recommend to boot drive in UEFI mode if listed.</li>
<li>After booting live media start the installer and choose 'Erase Entire Disk' in the Calamares Installer.</li>

<h2 class="section-heading">Initial setup after downloading </h2>
<p>The next initial setup after installing can make you proceed Garuda smoothly. Keep on reading! 😊</p>
<ul>
<p>
<li>Getting the initial mirrorlist</li>
<p> This step and the following can both be completed interactively if the setup assistant. Just press yes to the “complete installation” prompt.</p>
<p> If you chose now you have two possibilities: either you open "Reflector Simple" found in the startmenu if you prefer using a GUI or you open the terminal and type upd. This will refresh your mirrorlist and update the system afterwards.</p>
</p>
</ul>
<ul>
<p>
<li>Updating the system</li>
<p>Here you can chose between GUI and terminal again. For the first option you have to open Pamac (also called software update) click update. If you prefer the terminal it is as easy as typing: </p>
<p> <code>sudo pacman -Syu </code>(or <code>upd</code> if you want to refresh mirrors first)</p>
<p>After a bigger update (especially if kernel versions changed) it is advised to reboot afterwards.</p>
</p>
</ul>
<ul>
<p>
<li>Downloading languagepacks</li>
<p>Some applications such as Firefox ship its language packs in separate packages. This makes installing them after the initial setup a needed step. This is however made simple by using the Garuda settings manager. Open it up and get your language packs!</p>

<ul>
<p>
<li>Getting printing and scanning support, adblocking and more using the Garuda Welcome app</li>
<p>We made some settings easy for you and included them in the Garuda Welcome app. Here they can be turned on and off by toggling. To get an overview on the current available settings, have a look:

<p>One feature that makes Garuda wildly popular is that it provides a simple graphical utility for managing the system and performing administrative tasks and
a modern, Copy-on-Write (CoW) filesystem with zstd compression for Linux, aimed at implementing advanced features while also focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.

Garuda Linux is a rolling distribution based on arch Linux, focusing only on performance. But unlike arch, it comes with a graphical calamares installer and other advanced GUI tools.

<h2 class="section-heading">BTRFS as the default filesystem with zstd compression</h2>
<p>Garuda Linux uses the B-Tree filesystem (BTRFS) as the default. BTRFS addresses various Linux filesystem limitations like checksums, pooling, and snapshots. It also allows for easy management, fault tolerance, and repairs.
Btrfs also provides Garuda Linux with the ability to perform self-healing by using checksums and metadata to detect and repair corrupted data. Therefore, Garuda Linux having BTRFS is a considerable advantage.

<section class="docs-section" id="item-5-1">
<h2 class="section-heading">Methods</h2>
<p>While there are many potential reasons why your installation doesn’t boot to a desktop, the primary reason is that the graphics drivers haven’t loaded correctly so your login/display manager (DM) doesn’t start. This is why you get a "black screen" or stuck at an</p>
<p><code>[ OK ] Started some service</code></p>
<p>message.</p>
<p>
The normal reason for this is that you have the incorrect driver version for the kernel. This can happens when the mirror you are updating from is not fully synchronised, or times out, and so you have different sets of packages in [<code>core</code>]and [<code>extra</code>]. This means the driver module package in [<code>extra</code>] has been built for a different kernel point-release to that in [<code>core</code>] .<strong class="mr-1">On the other hand, if you have a DKMS driver package then make sure the build succeeded!</strong>

<h2 class="section-heading">Try to solve it</h2>
<ul>
<h3 class="badge badge-danger">The first thing to try</h3>
<p>Switch to a text console with <span class="badge badge-dark">CTRL</span>+<span class="badge badge-dark">ALT</span>+<span class="badge badge-dark">F2</span> , log in with your normal username and password, then run a full update:</p>
<p><code>sudo reflector -a6 -f5 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist</code></p>
<p><code>sudo pacman -Syyu</code></p>
<p>The first command will refresh your mirror list, picking five of the most recently updated mirrors (so those mirrors will all be up-to-date).</p>
<p>The second command will force a download of the current package lists, then perform an update if any updated packages are available.</p>
<p>If any packages were updated, reboot.</p>

The second thing to try
</h3>
<p>Log into a text console as above and run startx . This should either start X, in which case the issue lies with your Display Manager (e.g. GDM, LightDM, SDDM), OR you will be presented with some output and returned to the console. Of particular interest are Error (EE) lines.</p>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<h3 class="badge badge-info">The DKMS thing to try</h3>
<p>Run</p>
<p><code>sudo dkms autoinstall</code></p>
<p>
and pay attention to the build completion status. If it says the build failed then check the associated log file (it will tell you a file location).
</p>
</ul>
<ul>
<h3 class="badge badge-primary">If you can’t see anything obvious</h3>
<p>If none of the above helps fix this issue (which the first one will in 90% of cases) then search all Arch OS related forums for recent issues (<a href="https://forum.garudalinux.org/search?q=black%20screen">Search results for 'black screen' - Garuda Linux Forum</a>) , and, if you can’t find anything, start a new thread mentioning what you have already tried.</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">Recovery Options</h2>
<p>As a rolling release, Garuda Linux updates software packages daily. Unfortunately, doing such updates might cause your system to break, making it inoperable.</p>
<p>
To mitigate this, Garuda Linux has an inbuilt Timeshift backup utility that allows you to take snapshots of your system. In addition, Garuda gives you access to the system snapshots straight from GRUB, which can prove immensely helpful in cases where the system fails to boot up successfully.

Installing software packages on Garuda Linux is as simple as it can get. The distro uses the Pacman installer and a collection of software packages from the default repositories.
Garuda Linux also imports the Pamac installer from Manjaro Linux, allowing you to install software packages without touching the terminal.
Garuda Linux also offers support for Snap and Flatpack and comes with the Arch User Repository enabled by default.
NOTE: Although supported, Garuda Linux does not recommend using Snap packages.
