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 Bspwm on Arch Linux Phase 4

install desktop environment

BSPWM

Installing bspwm requires only a few commands. 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/Bspwm

sudo pacman -S bspwm

What you will get is a black screen? Not much not see or press or anything. Everything needs to be configured.
We have done this already and we share now our work with you.

ArcoLinuxD github is the source

In the case of Bspwm we immediately get the ArcoLinuxD scripts as there is simply nothing to see after installing bspwm and sxhkd.

We will get our scripts from our github. Change the scripts any way you want. That is the idea. Add lines for extra software. Hashtag out software you do not want. Then run the scripts.

sudo pacman -S git
git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxd/arco-bspwm

Then we have the scripts on our system. You decide what you run or not.

Lateron we will need wget as well

sudo pacman -S wget

There is also a folder called Arch Way. This folder will contain all the scripts for people who do an Arch Linux installation.
