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.

@drwho @Hellmo_Luciferrari it's not uncommon (and documented somewhere) to need to run os-prober a second time after install ; I had this 2 last times : install, get os-prober to find everything but W ; fully boot into arch when all is good, run it again and it will discover it.
Thank you for the tip. I didn't end up trying os-prober at all. I just ripped the windows drive out, and was able to get Arch installed and booted.
The issue I have now is completely different now, but I will likely revisit having Windows on another drive for the very few things that it would make easier for me.
For now it is time to wrestle with my 3090. Which I can't say I am exactly thrilled or shocked about.
