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.

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.
