Welcome to DarkXero’s Bytes ! This is where I will be posting my thoughts, feelings and some documentation for myself so I do not have to keep looking for them.
Visit XeroLinux for project related content. All the opinions & thoughts herein are my own.

Building a Linux distribution has been a deeply rewarding project, but I’ve recently hit a significant obstacle. Despite investing considerable time and effort, my knowledge and skills have reached their limit. There are many improvements I want to make, yet the technical complexity and absence of clear, comprehensive guides on how to build and maintain a distro make progress difficult. Unlike other software projects, the documentation is fragmented and incomplete, leaving much to be figured out individually.
I have recently discovered an awesome A.I Music Generation service called Suno.
It’s so amazing I decided to fork up the $8/month to get access to the Pro version that generates more realistic vocals and has tons of more features, like accuracy control, custom audio and lyrics and so much more. It will blow your mind !!!
I had so much fun with it I decided to create songs for XeroLinux and Linux. Below you will find a few of them embedded…
Lately I’ve been staring at my Discord server wondering what the heck to do with it. I created it to support XeroLinux users, and while it still serves that purpose, it’s been feeling kind of… empty. People join, sometimes leave the same day, and the overall vibe feels more like a ghost town than a growing community.
I’m not sure if I need to rethink how I’m using it, or if it’s just not clicking with folks the way I hoped. Either way, I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’re part of it, or even if you’re not. What would make you want to stick around?
Many people ask for a free version of XeroLinux so they can try it before deciding to donate. While I completely understand the wish to test it first, I’m unable to offer a free version. The reason is that if I did, many might use it forever without supporting the project.
But don’t worry! There is still a way to get a feel for what this distro offers before you decide to commit. It takes a little more effort, but it’s simple to follow.
In case you don’t know by now, or are new to this site/blog, let me give you some background before going through with this post. I am and have been an ArchLinux user for the past 7 years, or so, maintaining my very own Arch-Based Distro for past 4 almost 5 called XeroLinux. I haven’t really used anything else long-term since. Until now that is…
