This is basically an Arch installer with some sleek visuals added. Thankfully it offers nothing besides that.
You can get an Arch based desktop environment up and running quickly and get to work.
It doesn't have bloat or packages that will break your system. Unlike Garuda/Manjaro you can download stuff from the AUR without risk of your system breaking instantly. I wouldn't risk using them your system will break eventually, if you don't have time to install Arch by hand, this is a good alternative.

I've tried all the Arch-based distros over the years, and for me, Xero Linux is far and away the best one. What I like the most is it's stability. From installing and usage there are few if any hiccups. I've had Arch distros fall apart or start to unravel after using them for a few months. So not with Xero. It's one of my daily drivers now. It may be a bit too techy for some beginners, and there are numerous and constant updates once you get get started, but after being set up properly Xero seems to be a solid workhorse. I was almost ready to give up on Arch until now. My faith has been restored.

Pleasant surprise with xerolinux, installation without problem, easy configuration afterwards with Hello, very nice distribution and after a week, no worries. Before, I preferred Gnome but with Kerolinux, kde plasma seduced me. The only problem is that the first update had to be done in the terminal, but I had the same problem with another distribution based on Arch. The installation of flatpak is possible even if I don't see much use for it with AUR which has a huge library. Hopefully this distribution will be maintained for a long time.

Pros:
-Gorgeous theme
-Easy to convert into Vanilla Arch by commenting distro-specific repos
-Easy to restore the desktop look thanks to "XeroLinux Hello"
-Many handy aliases OOTB
-Flatpaks ready to be installed OOTB
-Possibility to fix pacman keys
-Good nvidia support
Cons:
-none
Suggestions:
-Would be nice to enable to Chaotic AUR by default
-Would be nice to make btrfs the default selected choice rather than XFS in calamares
-Would be nice to have the option to select systemd as bootloader rather than grub2
Spoiler alert:
there's a Gnome edition of this distro that you can build (that's the gift on the official website)
Keep it up XeroLinux team you are doing things right!

Ich teste gerade XeroLinux mit einem AMD 3900X Prozessor.
Läuft stabil, Installation ist einfach zu bewerkstelligen.
Sehr gute Skalierungsfunktion für 4K TV, auch die Programme
werden mit skaliert. Sehr scharfes Bild.
Sehr schönes und gut konfigurierbares OS
Ich finde es beinahe noch besser als meinen
Favoriten Manjaro.
Unbedingt ausprobieren !

Definitely give it a try !

The distro looks very nice, but does not offer anything interesting. In fact, it's hard to distinguish it from other forks based on Arch Linux. Standard packages, standard solutions, everything is standard and there is absolutely no contribution of your own, except, as I mentioned, a very nice appearance. Unfortunately, nice looks are not everything, and if you already want to run your own project, it would be good to take care of some cool, proprietary solutions. It's not bad, but it could be much better.

I've been running XeroLinux for a month, and what a nice surprise! In my opinion, this is genuine industrial strength Arch and not the watered down versions like Manjaro, EndeavourOS and Garuda. However, it's without all the hassles of installing regular Arch. Even a Linux beginner can do it with a little patience. It got it up an running within minutes, and was treated to a smooth performing and powerful operating system. It looks professional, and the KDE desktop is very ergonomic, even though Mate is what I prefer. My only disappointment is that some of my favorite programs were missing even though they are in most other Linux distros. Sometimes streaming video lags a bit, but that could be due to my desktop which is not a top of line model and is about 6 years old. Never-the-less, I've made XeroLinux my flagship distro for now.

Installed the system, I have a two monitor set up, home build, intel i3 9100f, MSI h310m pro MB, 16g Kingston ram, NVidia gt730 graphics.
Usual KDE issues with two monitors, browser opening to second monitor instead of primary, decided to install Nvidia drivers from the supplied scrip, system searched for correct driver, followed supplied instructions, and rebooted to the terminal only.
I don't mess around with issues like that, too many other distros that actually work, but I have noted my system is not Arch friendly, but I thought I would try again, given Ubuntu Debian distros are so slow compared to a well tweaked windows 10 OS.
I gave the distro 5, for their effort. Unusable for me. It is what it is !

It has some small bugs that are the same as ArcoLinux. For example, if you type "sudo su" in the terminal, the terminal crashes. Neither Arcolinux has fixed this bug that has been around for years, nor Xerolinux (which is a copy of Arcolinux). For the rest, I think it doesn't contribute anything except a "tuned" Arcolinux-kde. Before they made even funny versions (I remember a Xerolinux xfce with a Christmas theme). Kde works well for my pc because only my hardware works with Wayland, but sometimes it irritates me that all distros use it as the only possible desktop. I prefer Arcolinux to Xerolinux, even though they both seem to me to be super-bloated with software and background processes.

I would like to congratulate with XeroLinux Team for this beautiful and amazing distro.
What I can appreciate:
- First general installation from image, then choice of particular drivers, software, ecc... the installation process is faster and safer.
- Grouping the system tweaks, fixes and tricks in one place in welcome application
- General looking aspect that is a pleasure for eyes.
N.B.: for those who want to use Google Drive online account, Google Calendar, (Google Contacts still doesn't work in KDE integration), KDE Wallet must be enabled, This is NOT a XeroLinux issue but a KDE issue...
Congratulations to the Team!

I downloaded and installed XeroArch on an old laptop (i7-2nd gen+6gm ram) with no issues. This distro shines in terms of being aesthetic. The cpu/memory usage is good and the whole system is stable and responsive. Yay works as intended. Konsole layout is nice. File is functional and designed for workload. Menus on top and bottom are meaningful and hide when a window is maximised. Window headers and min/max/close icons are nice, too. All in all, the best KDE I have ever experienced, hands down. Great job Xero team.
