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.

10 – Installing nemo as filemanager and 5 great tips

sudo pacman -S nemo

Then you set nemo as the default application via “exo-preferred-application” or via the menu “Preferred Applications” if it is not already set.
