Arco Linux was the first Arch based Linux distro that I tried and its what I am still using on my main machine. I have not had any issues with hardware/software/games including steam. I would recommend to new arch users. Like DT stated its super easy to install. Great content!
I just recently installed arch Linux in my main I came from manjaro, but I might just make a virtual machine with arcolinux it seem kind of fun to mess with
Wholehearted agree with that statement. It was also my first Arch distro almost 2 years ago, and I'm also still running the on my main machine. I'm using Arcolinux Plasma, and I absolutely love it! I've had 2 very VERY minor issues here and there, but they've been almost exclusively issues with apps/the AUR vs Arcolinux itself. However there was one time I had run updates and hadn't rebooted in a few weeks, but when I did, it locked at the black screen white blinking cursor in the upper left and something for borked; when I got back to desktop my KDE Plasma config was totally reset to OOB settings. Other than that it's BY FAR the best Distro I've run in 7 years running Linux. Derek's videos are the main reason I tried and then switched to Arcolinux on my main rig. I switched from Pop!_OS to Arcolinux and I've never loooked back! Stellar video as always DT. I've been subbed to you since 12k subscribers. Really happy you've come so far and been so successfully.

Good video, DT. Been running an ArcolinuxD installation with i3wm for about a month now. Only just recently got around to configuring polybar, picom, and various other customizations. I'm still a pretty new user and the learning process has been an absolute blast, especially with the help of your videos!

Arco takes a lot from Arch Linux and makes it work out of the box. Their philosophy is that Arco should,d give you knowledge which can be applied to Arch if you choose to use it at some point. Great Distro which needs more publicity.

DT you are an absolute madman. There is no way I could keep up with you bud. Really appreciate your vids. They keep telling me how much I don't know. :) Thanks man.
Xtended installs them all regardless. That's the point of the ISO - trying them all. If you had only intended to install those few twm's, there's ArcoLinux D. All Arco ISO's have sddm as default due to a LightDM issue a while back. Switching is up to the user. Urxvt has become default recently. Again, the user is required to customize. Also, there are 22 desktops and 26 ISO's. Keep trying. :)
That's the part I do not get with Arco, if it was intended to install all these WM's why have the option to choose the WM in the installer? same with the software, Arco always installs meld and firefox, but why have the option in the installer? its meant to be an option, not present you with the option and install these software's anyway regardless of what "Option" you chose.
@@TheDrunkenAlcoholic You can install what is on the ISO by not checking the box, or you can select for net install, which furnishes the latest version.
NOTICE: Xtended is now standard in Arco B, you don't need to build the iso It's great if you don't use tiling DEs, and want to try them out in a semi set up state, but the fact that the keybindings are unified and split up across two files makes it a bit of a mess. For example the default qtile keybindings assume that you want to use mod4. If you swapped it to mod1 you'd have to also change all of the keybindings in the sxhkdrc for it to work. I'm definitely going back to defaults and making an org-mode config as soon as I have spare time.
I wish I wasn't so petty. Arch having a cooler name makes it worth it for me to deal with the installation. I just reinstalled Arch yesterday, and I couldn't for the life of me get lightdm or xdm to work, I had to use sddm again.

Played around with your config files all day, and it was really cool exploring Feeling really good seeing a new Arco Linux video from you Thanks for re-igniting my passion for Linux man! Probably will move completely move out of Windows the following months
I remember 2 years ago when I switched to Arco thanks to you. Ist been main main distro since that day. Love it. Thanks to Eric Dubois for a great Job!
Iv'e downloaded and installed about a dozen Linux distros. So far I like KDE Neon and Mint and yesterday I installed permanently Arcolinux replacing Zorin. I'm using the plasma desktop I love this distro so much. I find the biggest problem with linux is there are so many DE its hard to find the right one ,but finally I have decided on Arcolinux with plasma So nice to be free from Microsoft.
I like the color in this video over your few previous ones. This one is crisper and clearer. For my taste, you could cool down the background even more, but your skin tones look pretty good now.
Woa! I like that! DT, I believe you've finally nudged me over to the Arch world. I've been a Debian based user since 2007, but now I think I'm going to pull the trigger on Arco.
I agree.I like the default bar much more. With a few tweaks it can be configured to your liking. I also dont like that Arrcolinux SpectrWM edition changes some of the default key bindings. Plus I also observed that when playing youtube videos in full screen polybar does not hide itself.

How long did it take you to learn? I used i3 as my first but moved to dwm because I tried Luke’s larbs and fell in love with it. I’m planning to learn Xmonad but a lot of people say it’s really difficult. So how long does it take to learn?

Thank you so much for this video... I use to be a big Manjaro Fan until there last couple of updates when things just stopped working they way they were supposed to and I couldn't fix them. Thanks to this video I found a new 💕. I just installed it as my main distro and will never look back at any other distro. I found what I need and really want from a distro. I knew that I loved KDE as a DE and I loved arch as a distro but I needed something that just worked with those two things. I tried artix... It worked but the wifi didn't and I tried to fix it but nothing that I researched fixed it. I was on Manjaro but then it was having so many issues with itself as of the last couple of updates. However this video won my heart and my attention. I switched over and now I'm so happy that I did. Sorry Manjaro you'll always have place in my heart but I found something else. Thank you DistroTube for helping me not disro hop.
Did anyone notice that there were NO entries n the description portion of the installer? Looks like a LOT of web searching to find speed, size, processor load info, etc, which IM(H)O would be nice to see in the descriptions area.
Its my favorite too. Erik Dubois and team has worked very hard on these distros and they deserve the Best of the Best. I think Garuda is a close second though. The only thing I dont like with Garuda is they dont support Snap and Flatpacks. Erik does...Great video!

Hey guys, new to Linux & after so much research I decided to try arco on a VM, I went through the install process but at the end when I try to reboot it throws me back to the live user, can anyone help?
I've installed the beta version of ArcoL iso and it has a problem with default options, if you choose another kernel rather than the default, it won't boot the same with the sddm.
The calamares installer doesn't work on my machine.It doesn't let me pick any software.None of it gets installed.It gives you the option and doesn't work.On any machine.It just installs sddm and Default on dwm or i3.
Hello. Tell me please author(Unfortunatelly don't know your name) what does mean boot Arcolinux is it boot live Media or installation mode only? Some days ago I read that there is in the linux exist all wm as exist but is it here is Tiny WM the tinyest WM for linux?
Dt says that Xmonad is complicated, and I'm sure it is, but since they have everything configured on Arco including the polybar, and the conky having the key bindings, wouldn't that make Xmonad easy?
I love the os has the fastest boot using hdd boots in 30 second lightweight and quite easy although there might have some fullscreen problem when panel and plank is still apeared on fullscreen like in minecraft
I want to like Arco Linux, but it doesn't run Musescore well for me. It keeps closing out when I import a MIDI file. Since I arrange and compose MIDI songs, and like the notation software on MuseScore, it doesn't help using a distro that doesn't like running it. So far, Fedora has worked out best. I currently use a basic version of Hyprland. Fedora has a dnf package, and BPMs are fairly easy to install with the right packages. Fedora seems to have responded to the speed issue of dnf, as it seems a lot faster than I remember on 38. Tried 40, and it's amazing. Will likely move over to it when they officially launch it. I reverted to 39 because I thought I botched the Hyprland install. Probably a good thing, since it was stated there was a vulnerability issue that effected 40. So yeah, 39 is my choice for now. It seems close to rivaling Arco for installation and ease of use.

Its true that Erik is a really nice and very competent guy, but i think arch has become very easy to start from the base iso and install step by step only what you need and nothing more;) But it is true that for those who do not want to bother, this is certainly the best solution.

I hadn't heard about the Audacity issues you mentioned regarding it turning into proprietary spyware. Can you do a video on the details? Or, point me toward more info?
Would be fantastic to have a bootstrap script to configure the system and load you dotfiles
if you put all your dotfiles into the "Personal" folder in your home directory you just have to use the "personal " command in the terminal and it will install your personal configs, overwriting the pre-configured files.
Hi I have a Brother Printer, How hard woll it be to install in Ardour?
I need an Arco Linux based on ubuntu cause I am not too familiar with arch terminal commands don't know how different they are if at all.
They aren’t …
Like
The package manager is different ….
@@AnthonyR007 yeah I just checked it, I am actually pretty good at ubuntu commands but not too familiar with the pacman thing 😅
I think I'm going for pop OS or Zorin next
@@davidcalebpaterson7101 It's the same command, just use pacman instead of apt.
Have you tried the Archinstall script? I think it's pretty cool, and it makes the installation of arch almost as easy as the derivitives.
I've tried window managers. But I couldn't get the hang of i3 and went back to bouncing between cinnamon, mate, and xfce
Awesome review! Thanks
Clearly it doesn't have the Sway WM.
Is there a window manager which change color scheme dinamically according to a given time?
Hey guys, new to Linux & after so much research I decided to try arco on a VM, I went through the install process but at the end when I try to reboot it throws me back to the live user, can anyone help?
I've installed the beta version of ArcoL iso and it has a problem with default options, if you choose another kernel rather than the default, it won't boot the same with the sddm.
The calamares installer doesn't work on my machine.It doesn't let me pick any software.None of it gets installed.It gives you the option and doesn't work.On any machine.It just installs sddm and Default on dwm or i3.
just where do i download it bro i already had it but now the downloads are just nearly undiciferable
Hello. Tell me please author(Unfortunatelly don't know your name) what does mean boot Arcolinux is it boot live Media or installation mode only? Some days ago I read that there is in the linux exist all wm as exist but is it here is Tiny WM the tinyest WM for linux?
why cant i find the iso easily on their website
I'm using Garuda right now, like it better than Manjaro but if Garuda needs to be blown out if I mess something up maybe I'll try Arco.
Dt says that Xmonad is complicated, and I'm sure it is, but since they have everything configured on Arco including the polybar, and the conky having the key bindings, wouldn't that make Xmonad easy?
I don't understand this. You choose what to istall, but when installed it also installed things you didn't choose to install!?
I love the os has the fastest boot using hdd boots in 30 second lightweight and quite easy although there might have some fullscreen problem when panel and plank is still apeared on fullscreen like in minecraft
Do you have a top choice for audio editing?
Fluxbox and blackbox are missing!
DT I have recently installed a distro called ALT linux (SLinux) edition xfce. It works pretty smooth. Hope this is something interests you.

I want to like Arco Linux, but it doesn't run Musescore well for me. It keeps closing out when I import a MIDI file. Since I arrange and compose MIDI songs, and like the notation software on MuseScore, it doesn't help using a distro that doesn't like running it. So far, Fedora has worked out best. I currently use a basic version of Hyprland. Fedora has a dnf package, and BPMs are fairly easy to install with the right packages. Fedora seems to have responded to the speed issue of dnf, as it seems a lot faster than I remember on 38. Tried 40, and it's amazing. Will likely move over to it when they officially launch it. I reverted to 39 because I thought I botched the Hyprland install. Probably a good thing, since it was stated there was a vulnerability issue that effected 40. So yeah, 39 is my choice for now. It seems close to rivaling Arco for installation and ease of use.
Hi, I am new to the linux world, I have been using linux mint for like a month now I installed arco linux but it feels slower than mint and a little laggy anyway to fix it?
What window manager are you using in the actuallity?
Just tried ArcoLinux with Gnome desktop. Alt+Tab doesn't work at all. From the start... How is this a stable linux and a distro to recommend.
Ok but arch is so unstable. I dont wanna always check if i can update and if not i can break my system so fast...
it's not unstable, don't believe the fairy tails!
@@DCM777. Yeah it's stable sort of but maintaining it will eventually break your system if you dont know what you are doing. Arch will break, it's not if but when.

Can we install utilities and other program later after arco installation?
Only reason I like Arco because it doesn't say unable to connect to WiFi "unlike for me at least are stock arch, manjaro, atrix, nixos I need to use usb threading to make it work
Only problem I'm having, with any distro, is.. After installation, with Nvidia driver, my desktop is huge. I get half the taskbar, at the bottom of screen. I believe it's something with the Nvidia driver as it doesn't do it when I use the generic driver. My monitor is a 49" lg 49lj550m 1080p television. can somebody help?
Where is the KDE window manager?
Hey DT i installed Arco Linux and in dwm it says something about Vivaldi is Vivaldi standard browser? If so why use propraritary software and not free and open source software like Firefox,Brave or Chromium?
is XMoned is Good in Game Dev and unreal engine and Blender ?
i have Nvidia
Man you make my live easy thank you alot
Its true that Erik is a really nice and very competent guy, but i think arch has become very easy to start from the base iso and install step by step only what you need and nothing more;)
But it is true that for those who do not want to bother, this is certainly the best solution.
Arch is still a pain in the ass to install.
Thanx to Eric dubois and all the people behind Arco .
