From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

You boot into your installation media and type archinstall then pick the options you want. You can do it the manual way but Arch install works great.
Alright I'll try again and let you know, what DE do you recommend? I use cinnamon right now
The past 2 years I've only been using Arch with KDE plasma. It was the one that clicked with me and got me to stay using Linux. Before I ran pop! Os for a little while and didn't really like it or gnome then I went back to windows.
Couldn't get nano to work to change sudoers after using archinstall, I'll just stick to mint until I learn how to properly use my computer
