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.

In essence there is no difference in installing arconet, arcopro or arcoplasma.

They all give you the same options in the Calamares installer. All you have to do is choose.

ARCONET

ARCOPRO

ARCOPLASMA

If you do not know what to choose as bootloader then choose Grub. We have been using Grub for the last 6 years.
