I should look into how to do the rollbacks, I’ve noticed it doing snapshots but haven’t needed to do that yet. Still should know before I do need it.
My worst problem so far was dual booting to Debian and having the efi entry for Garuda disappear and then not being able to get back easily without modifying debian’s grub. Not fixable with snapshots but still simple enough for me to fix.
I’ve used arch for 7-8 years. I’m currently using Garuda for gaming, on year 2 or 3.
My recommendation is that if arch is working for you just fine, then don’t bother switching. I only switched because I had a breakage and it seemed time to switch (only 2 significant breakages in those 7or 8 years)
If you hadn’t started with arch I would in fact recommend Garuda first because the initial setup is much more hands free, start it and install stuff and it just works. Also Garuda comes preconfigured with an AUR setup and installers for that and for the glorious egg roll proton.
That is all crap you can simply set up yourself on arch, so there’s no need for you to switch, if you’re fine with the arch and slightly more manual configuration then you’re all set with arch and have no real reason to change that.
Counter strike 2, released recently and runs on Linux, I can’t say that the people you’ll meet on that will be that great all the time, but you may be able to meet people there.
You might also be able to meet people in RuneScape or old school RuneScape, or other MMO type games, usually they have clan features where you can join a group of players.
Not sure if it’s still busy with players but kingdom of loathing also at least used to have players you could chat with live, and could join a clan or something like that in there.
