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.

With archinstall? Ridiculously easy.
I'd just look up each of the options it gives you so you can decide what you want or what works best, but as long as you have an internet connection you can just choose your options and away you go.
If you only have wifi, add another 5-8 minutes of learning how to connect to your access point with iw
Watching other people on YouTube do it you should know what you want and have some knowledge about your PC.
Not as easy as Gentoo based on what I heard. But installing Gentoo takes quite some time.

I'm a perma-noob and I was able to do it. Had to re-do a couple of steps because I interpreted instructions that were meant to be literal, but the wiki pages are very comprehensive. I just had to pay attention to the details.
