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.

So I've messed up by not formatting my partitions on installation and now things are buggy, dbus returns permission denied on starting is one of the prominent bugs at the moment

It depends on how interested/motivated you are in finding out exactly why things aren't working. If you just want a working system without the hassle, since it's a fresh install, I'd recommend just reinstalling.

Things weren't working because of the owner+permission being set by Mint instead of the Arch installer, it prevented non-root from reading anything off the system, now that I chmod the mount points, things are functioning well
