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.

4 The best way to activate the ArcoLinuxD conky’s

It all boils down to ONE SETTING. And loosing some comfort and gaining a conky.

We need to set “Show Desktop Icons” OFF.

That is the best and easiest solution.

Then you start conkyzen and choose your conky.

Use CTRL + ALT + TAB to shut down the xserver and log back in.

The stability of your system (when using conky’s) also depends on the fact if you are on marco or compiz.

Not all conky’s will react the same on this desktop as we are used to on Xfce or Openbox depending if you choose marco or compiz.
