If you need to do anything on the command line, you should be aware that Garuda uses the fish shell instead of bash (which is the standard for Linux distros). You might also want to check out
~/.config/fish/config.fish, because there is some interesting, funny, and weird things in there. For example,lsis aliased toeza.Do you like macOS? Because that's the default setup: global menu, dock, etc. You can change all that, but it takes a lot of work.
