what is Arch-linux ?

@zey Arch Linux is a Linux distribution focused at the more geeky Linux users : https://www.archlinux.org And the Arch Linux wiki is one of the best and extensive Linux wikis around, often even handy for non Arch Linux users : https://wiki.archlinux.org https://social.weho.st/media/09xuZ7n9Zjjw2otKVZg

@yellowfrog It's look very difficult :c

@zey Yes, you need to follow the wiki well if you want to install Arch. Safest maybe is to test drive it in a Virtual Machine first.

@yellowfrog I would like to remove everything on my computer and just install linux but idk how to do

@zey Make backups, and then start the Linux install. During the install you can partition your hard disk. Data will be wipe if you continue with the install. Good luck && have fun ! :relaxed:

@yellowfrog but will it remove windows and all my files ?

@zey Yes, it will remove all of it when installing Arch Linux.

@yellowfrog I think i'll install ubuntu first, idk if i'm ready for arch-linux

@zey Good. Ubuntu Linux is a great choice for newbie Linux users.

@yellowfrog i'll try then, and if i install ubuntu il will erase all files ?

@zey When installing Ubuntu it will most likely offer you a dual boot option to have both Windows and Linux side by side.

@yellowfrog I have already this, and i want to erase all and have just ubuntu

@zey Okay, during the partitioning step you can choose to install only Ubuntu by deleting all partitions first, and then add new partitions.

@yellowfrog i'll try
