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.

Thanks. I tried that before I saw your comment and I downgraded 2 network related packages (networkmanagwr applet and networkmanager openvpn), but that did not work. I saw the kernel got updated so I downgraded that but now my system doesn't get past the boot screen. I'll try again tomorrow and I'll probably just install vanillaos to still have access to the AUR but on a very stable base and with good defaults. I had tried doing a ping but it just immediately said no host found or something like that. Sorry if I am vague, I don't remember exactly and my computer doesn't start anymore loll
