I don't know why, but I always had this desire of installing new operating systems and discover by myself how they work, how software packages are installed, removed, updated, and how they differ from other OSes.

Arch Linux, on the other hand, has a different installation process, which is not user-friendly and involves reading a tutorial and writing commands in a terminal. I have to admit that every time a friend is asking me to install Arch Linux on his computer, I always have to read some of the steps from my "A Beginners' Guide to Installing Arch Linux" tutorial.

During the installation of an Arch Linux operating system you have to type all sorts of commands that you cannot remember all the time, even if you install it two-three times a week and you have some knowledge of Linux/UNIX commands, so it's a good idea to bookmark an installation guide and use it whenever you need it, and that's not something that should scare you away.
