[TechXero][5] to offer an “eye-candy” version of Arch Linux. - -Note that this is a passion project and not a mainstream distro backed by a big team of contributors (yet). You should try it on a VM or a test machine before replacing it on your primary system. - -Here, we feature XeroLinux with a quick review for its pleasant out-of-the-box experience and a few more exciting things. - -### **Ease of Installation** - -XeroLinux uses [Calamares installer][6] to let you easily install the Linux distribution without needing to rely on the terminal or the [guided Arch installer][7]. - -While the installation experience is similar to popular Linux distros, you get the ability to select graphics drivers, specific Linux kernels, and tools as you proceed. - -![][8] - -You get to install System76’s power management driver and enable support for Nvidia Optimus Manager to switch graphics for your Laptop. Interesting! - -You also get to choose password managers, themes, browsers, and a wide range of different packages at the time of installation, which should make things convenient. - -Considering you get all the essential options in the form of a selection, you do not have a lot to worry about post-installation. - -![][9] - -Once you select what’s required, simply restart and start using the desktop. - -### **User Experience** - -The out-of-the-box experience with XeroLinux is impressive. The overall look and feel of the desktop include many new functional additions like the widgets to show CPU usage, network speed, and more. - -It also supports the global menu, making the application window look cleaner and offering a comfortable experience for macOS users to switch to Linux. - -![][10] - -With all the pre-installed applications, you can easily install new software, uninstall existing tools and perform various operations. - -It features both pamac and [Synaptic package manager][11] (available to select during installation). So, you get access to loads of software utilities that you can easily install through either of them. - -Other offerings include two file managers (Dolphin and Thunar), Yakuake terminal, Spectacle screenshot, KWrite, Konsole, and other KDE tools in its primary KDE edition. - -If you do not prefer the Yakuake terminal emulator, refer to our [list of terminal emulators][12] to find alternatives to it. - -![][13] - -Not to forget, you get a customized lock screen (or login screen) that looks pretty good! - -![][14] - -When you boot into the system, you will also notice a **XeroLinux configuration tool**. It lets you perform some essential tasks quickly, like checking for NVIDIA card, installing KVM/QEMU, disabling autostart, installing KDE window tiling, and some other configurations, as shown below. - -![][15] - -### **Customizability** - -XeroLinux features the KDE desktop environment in its main edition. So, naturally, you get endless customization options. - -It would be best to refer to our [KDE customization guide][16] to get help with it. - -In addition to that, you get to see the [Latte Dock][17], which you can customize and tweak as you like. - -![][18] - -There are several options to customize the dock; make sure you carefully tweak the settings before things look weird. - -![][19] - -Moreover, you get the [Kvantum Manager][20] that can help you install external themes. - -If that wasn’t enough, the developer also makes a few Rice/Themes and Grub themes available that you can find listed on the [official site][4] or the [GitHub repo][21]. - -In other words, there are some scripts made available by the developer that can help you get a makeover but do note that it is better to customize things yourself so that nothing else breaks. - -### **Desktop Environment Options** - -The primary edition features KDE, but you also have another XFCE variant if you want to give it a try. - -The XFCE edition is tailored for older systems (or if you need to save up system resources). - -It did offer a GNOME edition initially, but it dropped support for it due to issues with extensions breaking, with every update. You might want to go through our [KDE Plasma vs GNOME][22] article to know the differences if you’re curious about the desktop environments. - -### **Performance** - -Considering it features the latest available [Linux Kernel 5.16][23], it should work fine with a variety of hardware configurations. - -However, I haven’t tested it on bare metal. As per my experience with it as a virtual machine, it worked well without any peculiar issues. - -Here’s what the resource usage looks like on its KDE edition: - -![][24] - -You may notice lower resource usage when using its XFCE variant. - -### Should You Try XeroLinux? - -I enjoyed the look and feel that I got with XeroLinux. - -Not just limited to that, you also get several package choices and the ability to choose the best of Linux right at the time of installation. - -[Try XeroLinux][4] - -If you know what you need at the time of installation, it should be an attractive Arch-based Linux distribution for you. - -Have you tried XeroLinux yet?
