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.

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

This video/article is for people

  • who do not have access to the internet at all times
  • who are on narrowband
  • who want to cut down on their downloadvolume when building
  • who want to build faster
