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.

8 How to give the liveuser root permissions

We are trying out a new logo created by ArcoLinux Zver43.

Following the sources at the bottom of this article we create an extra folder and file to give the liveuser the possibility to update the system, to install and remove packages.
Folder  = /etc/sudoers.d
File = g_wheel

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

We need to delete the file g_wheel from the system of the user. The user will not be prompted for a password when executing sudo commands, if we leave it there. We also need to check the permissions of /etc/sudoers.d as well. We take those steps in Carli 6.

We have added the following packages to the package list

  • bash-completion – easy complete commands
  • partitionmanager – Plasma alternative for Gparted
