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 Fvwm

It takes 20 minutes to install Arch Linux.

This video will give you an overview of all the necessary steps to take.

We install version 2 of Fvwm coming from Arch Linux repositories.
ArcoLinux uses version 3 of Fvwm coming from AUR.

We follow the guide of this page and will compare it with the Arch Linux installation page.

This video will guide you
through Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4
of OUR Arch Linux installation guide
this is an ALL IN ONE installation

In phase 4 we choose our desktop

We can install lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter and lightdm-gtk-greeter-setttings but …

we choose sddm and enabled that.

We need to install our desktop now.

sudo pacman -S fvwm

Fvwm provides a config to work with and we decide  to take a look.

We will copy/paste over the default config of the developers.

mkdir ~/.fvwm
cp -r /usr/share/fvwm/default-config/* ~/.fvwm

There is still much work in your configs for fvwm to become a functional and beautiful desktop.

That can be a challenge.
