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.

2 Where is the Awesome configuration and setting up Atom for Lua

Every desktop has its own “headquarters”. A folder, where all the settings reside…

~/.config/awesome

With Super + S you get an overview of all the shortcuts that are available. Do not like the shortcuts. Change them.

We talk about the different folders and files that are part of Awesome.

rc.lua is the essence of your awesome configuration file.

We learn you to open the lua files with Atom. It has some nice packages to use color syntax for lua.

At the bottom we start the autostart.sh and compton.

The updated Awesome will come to /etc/skel.
