It’s sad to see such a great project come to a close. I’ve been using ArcoLinux for years and have come to love it.

I wish the ArcoLinux Team and the Beta testers all the best.

FUCK. This was my favorite distro and I’ve been using it for over 2 years :(.

Never heard of it, but still, sad to see something ending… seems like it was a good learning resource.

Aww man, not Arco :(

Sad to see this, but glad the educational material is staying up for a while.

Hopefully some pieces of this are carried on and maintained/forked.

I wonder what distrotube is going to use from now on since he’s an arcolinux user. He recently made a video about turning dtos into an installscript bundled with a base arch iso, maybe he’ll use that?

Not surprised, it was a bit of a niche project that was quite hard to get into (the options took a bit of reading around to understand what they were on about). It is easy enough to find the flavour of UI you want and more from the arch distros out there (I just found I actually do need cups on my EndeavourOS gnome distro and that’s something I didn’t toggle (printing). Time to throw in some cups and foomatic packages in there). So again, it’s about purpose and as much as I would have liked to have gotten into something about customisation, I’ve kind of already got a minimal-ish distro to work on.
