Why not? Just download the live, save it to usb key and boot to it
This is explained here: https://garudalinux.org/downloads.html And you can get support with any issues you may encounter here or in the forum....

What is ventoy Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them (screenshot)

"Disable fastboot and secure boot. It may not be possible to disable the latter explicity - try clearing the secure boot keys instead. Check your the manual of your device/motherboard for further info. Make sure that your device's SATA controller is set to AHCI mode in your device's setup utility. Otherwise the Linux kernel may not be able to detect your drive." Source

Scroll to the bottom, under "Focus on Performance"
Not sure what you can do in Debian as far as the kernel goes - things are more stable there, so they take longer to be tested and take hold. You can make your own arch build for great performance, and I recommend that to someone who wants to learn, but at the same time, to get everything working together, Garuda is a really nice package.
You also need this https://nordvpn.com/download/linux/ it's the .rpm file NOT the .deb after that you'll use the terminal and target the .rpm file. Unfortunately I've yet to get an actual gui working, so it's strictly terminal based for me. I also haven't really tried to get a gui running because well....... everything just works.
Good luck in your Linux endeavors brother.
I’m sorry to hear that. I would expect a Lenovo to work. I hope this isn’t your first experience of Linux, I wouldn’t want you to be put off.
Have you tried asking the Garuda team? I’m sure they’d like to help.
Yes. As long as nothing overwrites grub bootloader (like WU which you removed), it should be fine .
Shouldn't be any problems at this point, however I still do strongly recommend separate drive (not partition), less headache that way.
If you're on Android, find a cheap hard drive from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indraanisa.pcbuilder
It's a Google play store for Android. If you're iOS, then look at best buy, gearbest, eBay, Amazon, whenever you can squeeze some bucks for a decent drive.
Torguard is on the AUR. If you haven't installed paru yet, do a quick google search and install it, it takes 5 seconds.
Then you can do a $ paru - S torguard If needed choose the package that you want by selecting it with 1 2 3 etc. Input Y to review, then Q to quit. Then proceed with installs :)
This is basically how to install any software from the AUR.
It's also a good idea to learn paru because it's your new best friend :)
