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.

21 Creation of a new widget on qtile called NetGraph

The place to learn more about Qtile is

http://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/

We found a widget we can add to our menu bar called NetGraph.

http://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/ref/widgets.html#netgraph

We will make it together.

Start with a copy/paste and start changing the lines and compare between widgets what the writing syntax is.

We check on qtile.org what variables I can use in the widget.

Change one thing and reload qtile to check if it crashes already.
Then you know what to change.

Follow the video to see the development workflow.
