How to create the biggest gaming iso ever

Get your build scripts from
https://github.com/arcolinuxb
with git clone

You just want OPENBOX and LOTS OF GAMES

You can use any desktop you like
We choose Openbox

 BYOI procedure

  1. git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxb/arco-openbox-minimal
  2. change packages.x86_64 to include more games
  3. make a script for games coming from Aur
  4. run script 30
  5. no “3 x yes” needed anymore since 18.9.5
  6. test iso in virtualbox
  7. Packages list of games on the iso is here
  8. Packages list of games to install after installation (AUR) is here

5.3GB iso
After clean install of this iso
your run the AUR games script.

This iso will go never online
Build it yourself
Happy building
Happy gaming

Never run the building script with sudo just
./30-build-the-iso… or ./31-build-the-iso …

Run this script always in bash (standard)
NOT IN ZSH

We will use Xfce as the delivery system for your desktop.
The livecd will not have your chosen desktop.
You need to install it to see it. 

If you want to autologin
change /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
autologin-session=your desktop

You can find the name of your desktop in
/usr/share/xsessions

You can always set your num lock key on with
“numlockx on”
in the terminal or in your .bashrc

Updates are 10 months overdue
stay rolling video

This video and many like it are video’s to show you that Arch Linux is very stable and that you do not have to update daily or else it breaks. Since ArcoLinux is based on Arch Linux, this is true for ArcoLinux as well.

We update an SSD that we have left alone for 9 months and update the system from 

18.11.2 to 19.07.16

But actually as a developer I know we are already on 19.09.1.

 

We jump from November to September aka 10-11 months.

And no issues afterwards.
