The LUGVITC Open Source E-Book Project
Arcolinux is a Linux distribution that is based on Arch Linux. It is designed to provide a user-friendly and customizable desktop environment for both beginners and advanced users. The distribution is maintained by Erik Dubois and his team, who have made it their mission to provide a stable and reliable operating system that is easy to use and customize. It includes a dashboard app called Arcolinux Welcome
One of the key features of Arcolinux is its modular design. The distribution is divided into three main editions: the minimal edition, the Xfce edition, and the KDE Plasma edition. Each edition comes with a different set of pre-installed software and desktop environment, giving users the flexibility to choose the one that best fits their needs.
The distro consists of 4 ISO editions:
| ISO | Desktop | Theming | Preinstalled software | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | XFCE | YES | None | 1.7 GiB |
| B | Choose 1 | YES | Minimal | 1.6-1.9 GiB |
| D | None | NO | None | 1.4 GiB |
| L | XFCE | YES | LOTS | 2.4 GiB |
The distro also maintains a configuration tool called the Archlinux Tweak Tool, which serves to configure settings that are not present in every DE/WM, such as colourschemes and mirror configuration.
Additionally, Arcolinux also maintains a separate build of pamac, which reads from the Arco repositories. Arcolinux also has a customized Calamares installer which provides extreme customizability during the install process.
