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.

It's fast, but you are only installing
base,linuxandgrub.base-develshould also be there, since it's assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you'd want to build with makepkg.But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.
I disagree, making your own packages is nice, but it's not like it's needed. I know multiple people who don't touch the AUR or custom pkgbuilds at all
I know. It's not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.
