We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

4 Using the carli-1 iso to install Arch Linux Cinnamon

Goals, Objectives & Strategy

  • prove without a doubt that the Carli iso can install Arch Linux
  • following the arch linux guide on Arcolinuxd.com – phase 5 – MBR

Preliminary

Check the previous articles to build a Carli iso.

Course

We go over the steps to take how to build the iso in a short overview. See previous articles how to build an iso.

We boot up from the iso and we follow the guide from the arcolinuxd website. You either choose MBR or UEFI.

Then we follow every step. Sometimes we will skip things to spare some time.

We choose not to use a swap partition just to switch things up a bit and be a little bit faster.

Pacstrap is the application that will kickstart our linux system.

We install cinnamon on this Arch Linux system.
