Today, Arch Linux is in the same state as Debian around the turn of the millennium – popular for its technical excellence, but with a reputation for being difficult to install. Even with detailed installation documentation and the minimal archinstall script, the reputation remains. As a result, just as Debian spun off rivals like Ubuntu and MEPIS that feature easy installs, so Arch has spun off distributions like EndeavourOS and Manjaro. Among Arch Linux’s derivatives, ArcoLinux is unique [1]. As much an open university as a distribution, ArcoLinux takes its inspiration from Arch Linux’s extensive documentation as well as its technology and organization. In the process, ArcoLinux offers beginners and veterans alike the experience of installing an Arch-like desktop version.
ArcoLinux’s emphasis on education is obvious from the choice of a .info domain name. The distribution boasts more than 4,000 videos on YouTube [2] and proclaims in all caps on its site: “You ask a question that concerns everyone we make a video.”
