What are you using now?

I like the fact that Garuda uses the Calamares installer. I have Arch on a few computers/servers and I haven’t always been able to stick the landing on installation the first time around. I don’t install operating systems for a living so the easier the better.

I already use btrfs on my Arch installs and it seems fine for general desktop use, so I wouldn’t be too nervous about that aspect of Garuda if you have a good backup policy.
