My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

I used garuda for about a year and a half and loved it...mostly. I use a bluetooth headset and controller for gaming and it seems like after every single update, bluetooth broke and i either had to stuggle for hours to try and fix it, or just not use it till another update. Also, a lot of multiplayer games that use anticheat won't work on linux. I just recently switch back to windows because of those hassles.

If those things aren't comcerns for you then you should love your experience! Best of luck!

Occasionally a bad package gets pushed out, part of the nature of rolling distros. What I'll give them credit for is their forums, seems to be the primary support spot and a quick search points you to recent threads on any fuck ups that occur. Someone usually figures out which package is the issue and mentions it, then you can downgrade it pretty easily.

Garuda forum is truly great!
