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.

Creating a PKGBUILD for arcolinux-wallpapers-candy-git with Leftwm design in mind

Let us make a PKGBUILD for Leftwm called arcolinux-wallpapers-candy-git.

  • you find something on internet that you want to have on your computer
  • it is not on the AUR
  • create your own pkgbuild
  • build it – makepkg
  • double-click the xz file or put it on a repository online so we can all install it

If you want to add it to the AUR, read the submission guidelines.

Read how to create packages.

Read the package guidelines.

We use the pkgbuild that we created already in the past.

Read all the PKGBUILDs you can get and learn from them.

Sometimes you need to add dependencies. Not for wallpapers though.
