Looking for your next Distro?
Note : Demo ISO has been retired in favor of the free T.U.I installer. XeroLinux deserves to be experienced in full !
Welcome to XeroLinux
Welcome to the official XeroLinux download page. If you're just getting started, the ISO is your best bet, it comes with the Calamares GUI installer, which makes setup a breeze, while still giving you full control over manual drive partitioning. It's available through a small donation. This isn't a paywall or a demand, but a humble ask. If you find value in this project, your support goes a long way in keeping this project alive and actively developed. It also helps me weather the ongoing economic crisis here in Lebanon. Every bit counts, and I truly appreciate it.
The Free Alternative
However, if you are unable to donate, I completely understand. The T.U.I installer gives you the exact same full XeroLinux experience through a streamlined, user-friendly terminal-based setup, entirely free of charge. Beyond KDE Plasma, it also unlocks Hyprland and Noctalia-Shell, each pre-configured and ready to go right out of the box. It is fully open source, community-driven, and built for those who feel at home in the terminal. Both paths lead to the very same destination, so pick whichever suits you best. For Advanced Users !

While ISO is KDE Plasma Focused | T.U.I unlocks Hyprland with Noctalia-Shell both pre-configured.

Automated post-install script that transforms a fresh Fedora install into a fully configured KDE Plasma desktop in a single command.

Optional integration with XeroLinux rice configurations.
Heads up : side project, not as actively maintained as the main XeroLinux ISO + T.U.I. Use at your own discretion.
