I want to learn Linux and I read that installing Arch Linux is a great way to do this. But all guides I’ve found so far only guide you through the steps without much explanation of what it is you are doing during the installation.
Is there a guide that is more “guided” for lack of a better word? One that teaches me what I’m doing and why I’m doing it? I could of course google every single command and step during the installation but I think it would be easier to understand if there would be a guide including all this.
This guy makes some of the best Linux content on the Internet. This walk through is spot on and if you’re having trouble with the written guide, watch the video and you can do it along with him in several different scenarios. I can’t say enough good things about his content.

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?
