Anyone have Garuda experience? (midwest.social)

I've been gaming on Kubuntu for over 2 years now but recently have been getting interested in Garuda. I've booted into the live Dragonized Gaming iso and was really impressed with the out of the box gaming-centric setup.

I've also been looking for more reasons to switch away from Ubuntu, and have been hit with the EOL countdown for plasma in 23.04, so the time is right for a distro hop. With the latest Garuda release they added an official Hyprland variant which looks really cool too.

Does anyone use Garuda? What are your impressions/thoughts/experiences? What should I expect from switching to an Arch base? Same questions for Hyprland too.

I have 16 gigs of ram, an Intel i7 something and an nVidia 2080.

Edit: I booted into the Hyprland live iso last night and I must say, Hyprland is cool af. Really a breath of fresh air and very intuitive. I'm going to run with the install this weekend.
