Garuda Linux is fantastic , it is my primary desktop for home. I have installed the swaywm version. Garuda uses BTRFS and Snapper. The system automatically backs everything up for you. Snapshots allow you to rollback whatever you want. Yes its based on ArchLinux, but Garuda has there own dev team and make sure everything just works. I really love Garuda Linux , especially there sway version and wayFire version. If you have more questions or need help just ask away.

I've used pretty much every distro under the sun since I started using Linux as my primary desktop in 2001. I'm actually running Garuda now on my laptop and main desktop machine and love it.
I think Garuda is rock solid stable (it's Arch so of course it is). I haven't found a software package not available easily.
Give it a try. If you don't like it then try something else. Thats what makes Linux so great. There's so many choices.
Was thinking of all the distros I've run over the years. I know this isn't a complete list and not in any particular order......
- redhat
- centos
- MX Linux
- Linux Mint
- PCLinuxOS
- Mandriva
- Gentoo
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- OpenSUSE
- Arch
and now Garuda.
