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.

I like how he admits Gentoo and LFS are harder, but still calls Arch "The hardest system known to man", lol

It took him 45 minutes to install a system that can be installed in 5 minutes 💀

This video is mainly intended for beginner users. He took the time to explain most of the commands he entered into the terminal. There are longer videos of arch than this one.

It's because he's being informative for people new to Arch and Linux, if you couldn't somehow tell.
