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.

Installation of Cinnamon on Arch Linux Phase 4

install desktop environment
CINNAMON

Installing Cinnamon requires only one line. Theming and tweaking your Arch Linux system will require more time. All the information about this desktop is here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/cinnamon

sudo pacman -S cinnamon

You can install also the languages for Cinnamon if you are not a native English speaker.

sudo pacman -S cinnamon-translations

Let us go over every setting of Arch Linux Cinnamon and see what we still need to fix.

We have a vanilla Arch installation and we keep installing elements like :

  • terminal
  • theme
  • icon theme
  • text editor
  • conky and Aureola conky
  • ArcoLinux wallpapers
  • plank and ArcoLinux themes
  • …

This time we do NOT run the scripts from https://github.com/arcolinuxd/arco-cinnamon.

You will have to figure things out yourself with the wiki from Arch Linux, Youtube and of course ArcoLinux and ArcoLinuxD.
