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.

This is exactly what I was talking about that I don't want since this guide is just: do this, then this, then this and so on without explaining any of the steps. I could mindlessly follow this guide and not learn anything in the process of it.
At some point you need to take control of your own learning journey. If there is one thing you don't understand, look it up. If you don't understand any of it, look it all up. If you don't want to look it up to understand it better, then installing Arch isn't for you.
Can you not learn by extrapolation?
