And a review from last year from the some author : https://tylerstech.me/2020/04/05/arcolinux-review-and-final-thoughts/
Looks cool. Ima go check it out in a VM.
Having ArcoLinux installed on both my main production machine and my notebook and using ArcoLinux as my daily driver, I say ArcoLinux is an amazing distribution. The Calamares installer makes ArcoLinux crazy easy to install and with the custom added sections to quickly get popular additional software on top of the bare system (depending on the chosen ArcoLinux edition) to configure your system to your heart desires for a bit of a head start in comparison to other Arch-based distributions. The ability to choose between multiple DE and WM is brilliant and the ArcoLinux Tweak Tool allows user to install other DE or WM in a second, if you do not know how to do it manually. The rest is just a classic Arch Linux, after all. That being said, I really enjoy Erik Dubois’ (a creator and a developer of ArcoLinux) videos about ArcoLinux (YouTube link, Odysee link). I have learned a lot about GNU/Linux in general from him.
Learn, Have fun and Enjoy. – Erik Dubois
Neat ! I’m eager to try it - edit - Tried an install, and looks pretty good on the whole. A lot of software choice (including closed source software for those who want it), and easy to start up Conky.
