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.

3 Learning about DWM online and offline

There is a conky to help you out the first time you reboot.

Dwm works – like any other tiling window manager – with keyboard shortcuts.

We give you a general overview. Use the Arch Wiki. We use cups as example to search for drivers for printers. Do not forget the drivers on AUR.

Then we visit the Arch Wiki page on DWM.

We show you where the configuration files are for DWM.

~/.config/arco-dwm

All the settings are in that folder.

The application itself is in /usr/local/bin/dwm.

You can make patches to dwm. They are all online. Some will work. Some will break your system.

We have choosen for the minimal approach. Keep a the number of patches to a minimum and have a stable DWM.
