- I often get asked which Linux distribution is my favorite. My answer is usually one of two responses: (a) I don't have a favorite, or (b) it's the distro that I'm currently running. Well, if it's the latter then my favorite distro has been Arco Linux for the last two years.

Eric Dubois is a legend, the amount of tutorials he does is as insane as the Arch Wiki.
He is unstoppable .
And he is so quick in solving new problems that crop up due to Arch updates.
His work ethic is really inspirational!!
He’s a legend
We need more man like him to grow Linux users.
Worth mentioning that the main guy behind ArcoLinux, Erik Dubois, has a TH-cam channel where he does a bunch of tutorials on Linux
"A bunch" is putting it mildly.
Dude really uploads 3 videos a day on average
And where do we find that channel?

ArcoLinux is the only distribution that could make me stop distrohobbing 😂
Me too!
“I run Arco by the way!” LMAO!!
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!
what is your specs?
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. You are truly a blessing & positive asset to the Linux community! 👍
this is the best distru ever i seen ...
but i'm concerned about maintaining in the future ...

I am rocking an Asus 6600XT GPU. Everything works fine due to all the drivers being in the Linux Kernel. I plan on the future to upgrade my GPU to a newer GPU. Generally AMD GPUs work out of the box on Arch Linux.
All ArcoB ISO's are preconfigured. If you only want the stuff installed what you want you need to use ArcoD.
Yeah I noticed B installed a bunch of stuff I did not select at all
can you differentiate between all its versions ?? L, S, B, and D
el mati
@@sanjai7746 L = Large, many pre-installed Package and DE and WM. But if you choose this edition you'll installed a Xfce4 as default and you can't avoid that
S = Small, not much pre-installed package, but the same thing as L you can't avoid Xfce4 as default installed
B = BIG, choose your own DE or WM in the Sourceforge download page and that's will become default DE or WM. You can avoid installing Xfce4 in this edition
D = DO IT YOURSELF. ame thing as all above, but there are no pre-configure timezone, you can install DE or WM in this edition. And also you can avoid installing Xfce4
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!
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.
I just installed Arco Linux this afternoon after binge watching your channel for a week!! Been out of touch in the Linux world for a while. 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
You install it every day?
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.
Have just got a refurbished PC from Amazon (Dell Optiplex 3010 with 8gb RAM) I'm running Arcolinux B CINNAMON and it just works! Erik's channel is the place to go for tutorials and they really have a very consistent approach to how they configure all of the desktop environments and window managers they offer . 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.
Just to let you know: Audacity, as far as Arch core repositories are concerned, is still in 2.4.2, which doesn't have the spyware injected.

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 just Installed arcolinux on my machine, Thanks for such great tutorials DT ❤️🤗
Erik made it like that since lightdm had that weird bug
where sometimes it does not work until you reboot and for laptop it will not work if your battery are low
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!
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.
Thank you DT for this video. 👍
Gracias DT! Excelente video
I don't use 95%, of that linux software, but I am 100% on board with these perfect recommendations! Your best Video 2021 in my opinion.
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.
The Arco TH-cam channel is pretty good , you get to see the creative process as it happens pretty much.
Completely agree. I've been using Arco and Openbox for a long time for production. That is light and stable.
Im looking forward to see a full video for keybinding as im new to linux its would be a great help not only for ke but for most of the new comers also as most will have different keybinding . It will be great to explain which all u use and all ☺️ seeing your videos made me install arch linux buy this is more better i want to take it for a spin im planning to switch from windows yeah its going to take some time to getting used to so as of now im using its in virtual box as default . Thanks for all the videos its very help full . But i haven't seen a full video about keybinding so thought to bring up the suggestion for it 😊
Nice set of tool recommendations for any linux distro. I've been looking to move to Linux and I've had an idea for a TH-cam channel so it's good to see what you use on your machine
Awesome review! Thanks
Oh my god...just installed ArcoLinuxB. This must be the distro to rule them all. Thank you DT! I think I have finally landed, this will be my main distro from now on!
Just re-installed Arch yesterday and got my workstation all set up. Now after watching this, I'm so tempted to go back to my first distro, which was Arco-linux.
This is now my new daily driver and what a beauty it really is. Its a lightweight install not bloated & and the kfce desktop is out of this world.
"Kfce" lol
Slowly coming around to the idea of tiling window managers after watching all your videos on them :).
I run arco by the way - hilarious - thanks for the video
Excellent summary!
👏👏👏
🍺
Thanks, love your work!
I've just installed this today and it's a beauty.
Man you make my live easy thank you alot
Will try! Thank you :)
Thanks for your videos!. This channel is amazing , could you guys suggests simillar channels?
AMDGPU is the new opensource driver for gcn and forward, ATI is the opensource for older gpus
AMDGPU-PRO is the proprietary one
Thanks! This saves my time
Excellent video
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.
i3 was relatively simple for me, but granted I use EndeavorOS's version of i3
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.
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 was looking at Garuda for Arch with everything I need preinstalled, but this gives you so much more choice and doesn't shove the zen kernel etc down your throat if you don't want it.
This might be it.
Im gonna have to try this bro! I have arch 2018 on an old machine that Im not using but miss having an Arch install.
went from Artix to Arco and absolutely love Arco, guess who my favorite linux youtubers are.
Arco seems like a really cool Arch variant
I like how linux installs in a fraction of the time of windows ten and updates for linux are small in size and you can choose whether to install them or not. Windows forces updates on you which I don't like. I'm going to try this distro on my spare computer and test it out.
Erik Dubois, the Living Legend.
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
DT I have recently installed a distro called ALT linux (SLinux) edition xfce. It works pretty smooth. Hope this is something interests you.
This feels like a throw back to the 2000's when I got a copy of Kanopix Linux that had all sort of windows managers.
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!
Going to try it today
Manjaro Architect is similar in that you can choose everything for the install.
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?
Hey dt, a tutorial on how to install i3gaps from source on ubuntu and setting up compton would be nice
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?
After seeing it here, I thought I give Arco a try. Wow, I'm glad I did.
i just installed arco last week :D
Arcolinux has everything 🙂
Arxh Linux kde the best :)
@@gleidsonsilvasantos4105 Agreed. I'm using that now. I'm tired of distro hopping. Besides, I'm not gonna find anything better than Arch. Right?
@@abaneyone to me Void Linux it's better, Arch hasn't suited me cause they rely too much on AUR. If I wanted to compile then I’ll go with Gentoo.
Edit: It's a little bit obscure, so there's less help, but the Arch and Gentoo Wiki are useful too. But if your going with DE's instead of WM, I understand Arch is better cause the systemd integration
Arco Linux is a great option in Arch-based distros.
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
Seems like the picture's gotten better.. something with color correction, or, maybe, new camera?
I thought it worth mentioning... the default kernel is also a good option if the drivers ended up messed up for your GPU on the last LTS release.
From the youtube video showing the boot of ArcoLinux, I had a second or two to note that DT was booting with the B version.
I was thinking on moving from Manjaro KDE to an arch based dostro with a Tiling WM and I think I've found the one
Hey DT,
In your last few videos, any time you mention GIMP, you've said "The GIMP". Is there a particular reason for that? I've only ever heard anyone else call it just "GIMP".
Hi DT. The addition CD image of vbox tools not response on arcolinux xtended on any desktop environment . Display stuck at 800*600.
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?
Is there a window manager which change color scheme dinamically according to a given time?
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.
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.
Arco hasnt really grabbed my attention in the past but after seeing this vid I'm going to check it out , I'm currently using Garuda as my daily driver which is ticking all the boxes for my personal usage but this could be something I switch to in the future 🤔
Hey DT, could you do a vid on customizing configs for this ArcoLinux Xtended? Would much much like to get a working system up to replace windows and all things microsoft. Personally I think they should change their logo to 4 blocks of swiss cheese.
Can we install utilities and other program later after arco installation?
No sway in the window manager options... I'm sure it's installable later in any case.
Will the installation recognize other OSes? I have three linuxes and two windows, will it create a new bootloader that will include them?
Yep I dual boot windows and Arco with no issues.
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.
i totally disobeyed DT and used Xmonad as my first. it worked out and loved it, though.
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?
@@VvC_Lad a week to get it right. I haven't fully learnt it tho
@@rebelprime Might try it once I get free time
yeah same. about a week to get the hang of it. also not an expert. but look for DT's Xmonad tutorial. i found it very helpful.
@@VvC_Lad So what was i3 missing that caused you to change to xmonad?
You would want a proprietary driver for AMD because the open source ones don't do cuda... or whatever AMD calls their version. Basically, if you want to play games, you can stick with the open source one, if you want to use your computer as a workstation you need the proprietary one.
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?
Thank you!
What an .iso do I have to choose to install it? Arcolinux B? I suppose it must be ArcoLinux B Xtended but I can't find it (
Click on Archolinux B on any of the links then scroll down just below half way for the iso links.
@@russellrussell5495 Many thanks!
Hi I have a Brother Printer, How hard woll it be to install in Ardour?
I truly dislke Polybar. Arcolinux' s SpectrWM config also replaces the default bar with Polybar.
Any good replacements? Xmobar seems like a good fit or dwm-status if you are extremely minimal.
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.
I3bar and i3blocks 👌🏻
@@linuxinside6188 i3bar + bumblebee-status with iceberg-rainbow theme :-) (because I am learning python :-) )
Do you have a top choice for audio editing?
What window manager are you using in the actuallity?
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?
Arco Linux is really really awesome! maybe the best distro i've ever used!
Damn, i see you clicking round lightdmmenu and hoping for a look on i3 the arco way. Does it act like a dynamic or a manual tiler, has it still the weird jkl; instead of hjkl combo, do arco use i3 or i3-gaps... Questions over questions. Guess i have to figure out myself. Still a great promo for arco dt.
jkl;
@@DistroTube as expected. Easy enough to change...
Do any distros package i3 to use "hjkl" by default? "jkl;" is the upstream default, I believe. Mostly I just load my dotfiles in when I do a fresh install anyway.
@@charlessmith5465 I am not aware of any, so yeah using personal dotfiles (or grab one from the webz) is it.
5:54 nice to see Calm included (cwm). OTOH, where is Sawfish?!? 🧐
Why would i need every tiling window manager when dwm exists? 🤔
Hey DT can you do review of NsCDE pretty please?!!
Good video.
This is cool. Its a looks like customize from the scratch.
I have been looking for the download link name. All I find is ARCOliNUX{L,S.D,B} versions. Which one do I choose. There does not seem be be an arcoLinuxX
me too, can't find it.
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?
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.
Can you set it up to use wayland by default?
