This post will explain why I decided to bring back **XeroLinux** and how you can get your hands on it. All I ask is for you to read the entire post to understand why it is the way it is. I hope this post clarifies my situation. If you grabbed a copy, find out how to install it via the [**XeroLinux Wiki**](https://wiki.xerolinux.xyz/distro/){:target="_blank"}

### What is XeroLinux

In short, it's just an alternative to the **XeroLinux Plasma Install** script, making it easier to install **Arch**, bypassing the need for **ArchInstall**. The ISO includes my toolkit as well as my famous **XeroLayan** rice all-in-one shot.

</p>

You can use the included **Post-Install Toolkit**, 1st icon with my logo in the Dock, to configure it, keeping in mind that some of the features were already applied to the ISO. I have also taken the liberty of including the [**Chaotic-AUR**](https://aur.chaotic.cx) repository so it's easier for you to install **AUR** packages rather from having to compile them.

### Why is XeroLinux back

To explain why, let me set the stage. As you may already know, I’m going through significant financial difficulties. Living in Lebanon, finding a job—especially a remote one—is extremely challenging, and the situation continues to worsen. I won’t rehash the entire story here, but if you’re not familiar, you can read more about it in this [**BlogPost**](https://blog.techxero.com/index.php/2024/06/07/actively-looking-for-a-job/){:target="_blank"}.

<p>After giving it a lot of thought, I realized how much I truly enjoy Linux. With bills to pay and my distro’s code still sitting on GitHub, it just makes sense. Many of you have been asking me to bring it back since I pulled the plug months ago, so why not use this opportunity to revive it—and make it a way to sustain myself?</p>
