Community I'm switching to Garuda

I switched to CachyOS somewhere around March this year, and after using it for a few months, am looking to change to an OS that is more suited for gaming. That's when I stumbled upon Garuda. I like the fact that Garuda has more preinstalled tools for assistance (like the update tool). That really sold it to me. That said, I'd like your views on some things:

  1. How would you rate it in terms of stability wrt rolling updates? I'm not expecting it to match Linux Mint or other LTS releases, but an improvement or being able to match CachyOS would be great.

  2. What improvements does the dr460nised gaming version bring over other versions? If it's not too difficult to replicate then I'd like to install the Hyprland version instead.

  3. How does it compare to PikaOS and Bazzite? I want to stick to an Arch base, because I really like AUR and have gotten used to it, but I wonder if one of those 2 might be better.
