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.

All in one Arch Linux installation BIOS with Ukui

We install Arch Linux on VirualBox with BIOS activated + swap. We use this tutorial.

We get our Arch Linux ISO from archlinux.org and boot from it.

The correct Virtualbox settings must be applied. Check them out.

Then we follow the guide.

Cloning a VirtualBox makes sense, reuse the work you have done.

And then install Deepin or Mate or Plasma or …

We start from the last video. We have a basic Arch Linux on our Virtualbox.

Now we need to install the desktop. Lightdm is already activated but there is no desktop behind it yet.

We go to the TTY with Right-CTRL + F3.

On real metal you use Ctrl + Alt + F3.

We install ukui with

sudo pacman  -S ukui

This is Ukui from Arch Linux.
Now you need to configure it. There may be missing pieces.
You need to figure that out.

Now we could get our ArcoLinux packages into Arch Linux. ArcoLinux created an application for that called

arcolinux-spices

Download it from here.

Then we install it. Not shown in the video
