Hey y'all !
In light of the current AUR Malware crisis, we have added an option in our Package Manager (xPM) that will help you check if you have affected packages installed on your system.
Update today to get it in !

Hey y'all !
Today is the last day to get #XeroLinux at 25% off and I'd hate for you to miss it.
This is Arch Linux the way it should feel IMO : fast, clean, gorgeous out of the box, and actually fun to use. If you've been on the fence, this is your sign.
Hop in, the terminal is warm and the discount won't last forever!

Y’all, the new XeroLinux website is 🔥!
If I could code like that, I’d still be in I.T. instead of tromping around construction sites in work boots.
@XeroLinux FANTASTIC work. I love EVERYTHING about the design. Really well done. Congratulations!

Hey y'all! 👋
New #XeroLinux just dropped & it's no ordinary release, we just hit 6 years of Arch-based shenanigans 🎂 ! Site got a fresh coat of paint too, go take a look.
And instead of you buying us a cake, we're slashing 25% off the ISO as a gift to the community. Grab it before June 3rd kills the deal dead.

Hey y'all !!!
Today marks the official announcement of our brand-new in-house package manager GUI ! We have dubbed it xPackage Manager.

Hey y'all...
#XeroLinux keeps growing, and so does the effort behind it. Your support is what keeps this project alive and moving forward. Here is a quick update on ISO pricing and what it means for the future of the project.

Hey y'all !
I have successfully and after a full day's work, been able to migrate the #XeroLinux #Hyprland config to LUA.
Also the standalone script has been killed off. We migrated to only have it in T.U.I. Wiki was updated reflecting this change.

Great news y'all !!!
Work on the #XeroLinux TUI has concluded. We have added better support for #BTRFS with snapper n and Grub-BTRFS pre-configured out the box.
We have also added option to install #Hyprland with the #Noctalia Shell slightly pre-configured for a good starting point.

Hey y'all !
Today I resume work on the #XeroLinux TUI install script. Some awesome changes coming your way.
1st off, reworked the #BTRFS implementation adding Snapper and grub-btrfs support for snapshot management.
2nd take a close look at the attached screenshot. Working hard on that as we speak.
Enjoy ! ETA June.

Hey y'all...
Please forgive the lack of posts as I transition to a new life (hopefully). I am currently going through a major change in my life to better the way I do things.
Don't worry though, #XeroLinux ain't going anywhere. New release is on track. I am just too busy with this change right now to post on here. I will do my best to get back into it.
Will be sharing something in coming day or 2.
Cheers.

Hey y'all
The #XeroLinux Package Manager is ready for testing. I removed hard dependency on our Distro making it work on any Arch-based Distro (with limitations).
Feel free to test and report any issues via Github. Will try my best.

Hey y'all..
Working hard on a new Package Manager GUI for #XeroLinux.. It will be something awesome. Still work in progress..
-
Hey y'all...
I sure wish this toot was positive, but alas in case you weren't aware, my country as well as many others in the Middle-East are under attack.
This is just to say that if it continues to escalate the way it has been for past 2 weeks, I won't be able to put in the same amount of work on #XeroLinux and next release might get delayed a bit.
If you would like to help us during this nightmare feel free. Not a must just a gentle ask.

Hey y'all...
New video has landed. check it out !

Hey y'all...
Hope you are having a great week-end. Today am happy to announce a new tool you can use on any Arch based system especially if you are a tinkerer.
It's the Kernel Scheduler Configuration Tool. A comprehensive GUI application for managing sched-ext CPU schedulers for Arch Linux.
You do not need to be on #XeroLinux to use it. But if you are, it's there OOTB.
To know more check it out below !
