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.

+1 for installing Arch. If you have enough knowledge of Linux to understand what Arch is and why it is, comparatively, a more involved installation. Then you're probably ready to install it. As was mentioned in another content, long as you know the basics, it's not as hard as you might think. Also as suggested in another comment installing in a VM or spare hardware is good practice.
As for learning, take the time to understand the commands you're copy/pasting. Read the man page, see what the flags you're pasting in to. That might sound daunting at first, and you might not always be able to completely wrap you're head around it. But you'll learn more and more over time.
