 Before we dive in, it's important to note that **XeroLinux** features **KDE Plasma**, a powerful and feature-rich desktop environment. While it’s designed to run on a variety of systems, for the best experience, we recommend mid-range or higher hardware.

 We have had no choice but to disable the **Swap+/-Hibernate** options due to an ongoing issue with latest version of **Calamares**. Will be re-added at some point in the future. Until then you can still use **Swap File** only if you have *8GB* or less RAM otherwise it would be a waste of space.

 <p>When it comes to <strong>Encryption</strong>, I haven't tested it thoroughly. Use at your own Risk! <strong>Calamares</strong> is meh when it comes to that. All I know is it's extremely limited. It can't ecrypt both <code>boot</code> n <code>root</code>, just one or the other. Am sorry I test what I can.
