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.

8 Use rules to assign applications to a workspace

Personally I want a free workflow.

Meaning = any applications can go on any workspace.

But you can tell Herbstluftwm to assign applications to show up only on one designated tag/workspace.

In the video we show you a catch however.

If you have changed the tag layout, you need to change here also the tag name in the rules section.

There are general rules coming from herbstluftwm but there are also rules coming from ArcoLinux.

Last but not least we launch polybar to get a topbar.
