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.

I only recently moved to Arch and am still learning, what does the n and s flags do?
-R removes a package. -Rs makes sure that all the then-unused dependencies are also removed along with it. -Rns is not really recommended for general use, but the -n flag removes configuration backup files (in case you consider those bloat).

Thanks!
