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 Plasma on Arch Linux Phase 4

install desktop environment
KDE OR Plasma

Installing plasma requires only a few lines. 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/KDE

sudo pacman -S plasma-meta

Now we will install all the Kde applications. If you install them one by one, you can now see what is in the package of plasma and what is in the next package.

sudo pacman -S kde-applications-meta

Your installation can just end here. Then you add more applications to have a system suited to your needs and theme it anyway you like.

Let us add some ArcoLinux spices to our system

We will use the ArcoLinuxD github to get our system quickly up and running.

git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxd/arco-plasma

Do not start running all the scripts.
Read the code. Learn what we do.
And improve our scripts by adding software or deleting software.

The menu was not showing new installed applications immediately.
At the end of the video they were present without doing anything.
It seems to take time.
