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.

Who tf is out there recommending new people Arch? What a non-issue!
Its a good way to learn how different parts of Linux work
After you install arch a couple times you won't be making posts asking why your grub is broken, youll already k ow how to fix it.
The last time my grub was broken was around 2012 when I ran Arch. After that I have rarely thought about grub at all.
OK so just dont learn the fundamentals I guess.
Really lazy attitude
