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.

14 How to add another polybar at the bottom in Herbstluftwm

Polybar is part of Herbstluftwm but it can be used on any tiling window manager.

The code is to be uncommented from the file in ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh to get a second polybar.

But when making this video we had not thought about users wanting to have a second polybar so the video includes the search for a solution.

There are two commands you need to investigate

  • herbstclient
  • herbstlufwm

Use help or man or TAB to figure out what to do.

You can always consult the website of Herbstluftwm as well.
