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'll respond when I'm done doing it. I plan on firing up my 15+ year laptop and install it the Arch way for the hell of it.
Forgot to update...so I was able to get it install with the archinstall script with no issue. Installing it the Arch way, by using the docs, went super well until I went to install the boot loader. I saw no errors when going by all the steps prior to the boot loader install so I'm guessing I was installing grub incorrectly, or maybe something I'm not aware of. I'll try again soon and respond with the fix, when I get it installed that is, in case you run into the same issue.
