This didn’t do anything. He was really confused and told me I’d have to do my own research on how to install Linux. I did and, eventually, I discovered a few tutorials I could follow.

It ran well enough but I had heard of this thing called Arch that was supposed to be the ultimate.

I installed Xubuntu (I like lightweight distros on powerful machines) on half the drive and worked on Arch for the other half.
