Plasma challenge
We started making a series of tutorials of the Plasma desktop. We have created a specific ArcoLinuxB Plasma iso of 4.3GB and included some of the better games on it like Sauerbraten, Xonotic, Steam and Lutris. So not only learning but also FUN.
More information about this Plasma Challenge can be found here.

Arcolinux-tint2-themes
Since the creation of Tint2 themes many things have changed in the background – tint2, gtk3, …
We noticed that the icons in the system panel were overlapping in the Arc themes.
We figured out what to change in the tint2 configuration and you can fully enjoy all themes again.
ArcoLinux spices on Arch Linux
We improved the script for Arch Linux users to get the ArcoLinux spices in easily with the help of a new script and an updated script. Scripts are on all ArcoLinuxD githubs in the folder Arch Way.
