From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

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?

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

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

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.
