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.

How to create your own ArcoLinuxB Minimal version – recommended workflow

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

You just want 1 DESKTOP and nothing more.

In this example we create Bspwm Minimal

Based on this workflow you can just create
ANYTHING

 BYOI procedure

  1. git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxb/arco-bspwm
  2. git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxb/arco-i3-minimal
  3. creation of a new github for arcolinuxb-bspwm-minimal
  4. compare or meld between two githubs
  5. change packages.x86_64 if you want to
  6. run script 30
  7. no “3 x yes” needed anymore since 18.9.5
  8. test iso in virtualbox

Packages.x86_64 can be edited

Mid July 2018 packages.both was changed into packages.x86_64 since there is no more support for 32 bits.

What will be installed on your iso is defined in the packages.x86_64 file. If you want to exclude or include packages then you will need to edit that file. We will keep updating packages.x86_64 over time. It will differ from the video in the future.

Content of Packages.x86_64

Uninstalled too much in the video.

You need to install rxvt-unicode to have a terminal at startup 
keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + T

So beware that you do not hashtag out important elements of your iso.

it is all about trial and error and learning from it.
