Yup I had this experience too. I've read that their denial emails aren't being sent out by their mail server, but it really felt like they just ghosted me.
I've used Garuda and I think it's great. It has bootable Snapper snapshots enabled by default, a post-install wizard for software, and a custom update script that's not too customized but does a couple neat things like warn you if Grub has been updated. It's biggest criticism is bloat, but on modern hardware it's fine. Still runs better than Windows.
Believe it or not, it's stock to this distro. If rolling releases and lots of purple and pink neon are your thing I urge you to check out Garuda Dr460nized.
These are welcome changes but I don't think calling it a 'confusing array' in a feature parity update is actually good reporting. Oh wait, it's The Verge...
If you're newer to Linux I recommend Garuda as a beginner distro. It's very similar to Endeavor as an Arch base, but has some friendly GUI options like Snapper bootable backups for easily undoing bad updates and an update script that takes care of mirror list and orphan notifications. People complain about bloat in Garuda and while there is some it's also helpful bloat, still less than Windows, and has negligible impact on modern hardware
Yup I had this exact same problem with Nobara, it's like everyone recommends it but nobody actually uses it before they recommend it.
Once again, rules for thee but not for meee
