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.

Let us build EndeavourOS on ArcoLinux

The point of the video is

  • to learn from the building process of someone else
  • to learn that we need the EndeavourOS repositories
  • to learn to change the pacman.conf to include the EndeavourOS repositories
  • to learn to avoid conflicts between repositories and keys
  • to learn that we need to watch out for the cache files of pacman
  • to learn to move the pacman.conf in the right place
  • to learn to unmount folders after a failed build
  • to learn that we need to watch out for keys
  • to learn that we need to get the keys in from a keyserver
  • to learn to keep track of all the changes in archiso
  • to learn that the virtualbox message “kernel driver no installed” just means reboot already
  • to learn gradually to understand the code of mkarchiso and make our own code/choices

After the building process we test it out in VirtualBox and we keep having fun with EndeavourOS.

Adding more packages, having one whatif after the other.

We go wild on our own created EndeavourOS operating system

  • learn about group packages like base-devel
  • learn about kde-applications-meta (meta packages)
  • learn about the arcolinux-spices-applications
  • install packages from ArcoLinux repositories
  • install alacritty – our bashrc – arcolinux-bin to get our nemesis_repo in
  • install edu-papirus-dark-tela-git – arcolinux-xfce-git – variety – arcolinux-variety-git
