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.

When developing Gnome in July 2019 it came to my attention that the settings I had created and saved in ~/.config/dconf/user were not applied into the system.

Updates came in /etc/skel/.config/dconf/user.

We did the skel command (check your aliases) but the new settings like icon, wallpaper, themes, …

Dconf is a kind of database that keeps track of all the settings of Gnome. You can only edit it via dconf-editor.

Tip 

Copy/paste the /etc/skel/.config/dconf/user manually over to ~/.config/dconf/user

and check and recheck

then reboot
