We're back — and we're Kiro

Welcome to Kiro

An Arch-based Linux distribution, without the setup.

ArcoLinux brought you here. Kiro is where the journey continues — same hands, same teacher, same love for Arch, now built for the community from the ground up.

“Arch Linux, with a teacher in the box.”

55 Switching between lightdm and sddm just became super easy starting from v20.2

ArcoLinux uses Lightdm as displaymanager or loginmanager on all its desktops.

Changing to Sddm on Plasma is super easy starting from ArcoLinux 20.2. It takes only a few seconds since Sddm is already installed just not activated yet.

Type this in your terminal and logout.

sudo systemctl enable sddm -f

If you do not like the default look of sddm, then you navigate to the system settings and download a theme you like.
