Rolling-Release Ubuntu-based Rhino Linux Has Landed
|
||||
======
|
||||
Rhino Linux is an interesting option to have!
|
||||
You might remember us covering [last year][1] that Rhino Linux would be the successor of the now-defunct '[Rolling Rhino Remix][2]'.
|
||||
|
||||
After much waiting, its first stable release is here!
|
||||
|
||||
Let's dig in and see what Rhino Linux has to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rhino Linux: What is it? 🦏
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based, **rolling release distro** that uses a **modified version of XFCE 4.18** , alongside **Pacstall** at its core, for a hassle-free user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
📋
|
||||
|
||||
A rolling-release distro receives regular software upgrades instead of being limited to maintenance fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
The inclusion of XFCE 4.18 enables Rhino Linux to take advantage of the various improvements on offer, such as **improvements to the Thunar file manager** , **enhanced desktop/panel** , and more.
|
||||
|
||||
You can check out our coverage on the same to know more.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Then there's '[Pacstall][5]', which is an AUR-inspired package manager that handles everything starting from kernel installs, all the way to installing a web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
As all Rhino Linux-related packages are packaged as '[pacscript][6]', any OS updates can be done through Pacstall.
|
||||
|
||||
**So, how does the distro feel and behave?**
|
||||
|
||||
Well, when you first boot up into Rhino Linux, you are greeted with a very **clean and modern-looking quick-setup wizard** built using Rust.
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
📋
|
||||
|
||||
We have a new **[Rust Basics Series][8]** on It's FOSS. You may check it out to explore Rust programming language.
|
||||
|
||||
When you proceed, you are given the option to choose from three distinct package managers: **Flatpak** , **Snap,** and **AppImage**.
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Such functionality is thanks to implementing their **custom package management wrapper** , 'rhino-pkg'. Which allows you to search, install, remove, and update packages from the various supported repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
In contrast to the latest official Ubuntu flavors, you have the freedom to have Flatpak enabled out-of-the-box.
|
||||
|
||||
Then there are the extra settings that you can opt to enable.
|
||||
|
||||
One is to enable the wonderful Python-based frontend for apt package management, '[Nala][10]'.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Read** 📖
|
||||
|
||||
![][12]
|
||||
|
||||
The other is '[Apport][13]', a crash reporting system, that lets the developers know of any issues with your installation in the event of a system crash.
|
||||
|
||||
When you finish that, you get to see a **very clean desktop layout** with a neat wallpaper, and a floating dock.
|
||||
|
||||
![][14]
|
||||
|
||||
They have dubbed their desktop as ' **The Unicorn Desktop** ' which has been built in-house with a heavily modified version of XFCE.
|
||||
|
||||
It aims to combine the best of both traditional and modern approaches for the desktop user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
![][15]
|
||||
|
||||
The Unicorn desktop also features a few free add-on software solutions, such as [**uLauncher**][16], **a** **replacement for spotlight search** , **lightpad as the new app launcher** , and **many other features**.
|
||||
|
||||
![][17]
|
||||
|
||||
You can read more about their customized desktop experience **[here][18]**.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, the user experience seems relatively straightforward, and the Rhino-themed wallpaper looks lovely.
|
||||
|
||||
**Any other highlights?**
|
||||
|
||||
Yes!
|
||||
|
||||
This release has an interesting variant that I am excited to see.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a **Rhino Linux port for PinePhone devices** (the original one/Pro), based on the latest version of **Ubuntu Touch (20.04)** , it is the first XFCE-based mobile environment.
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see from the video shared by Oren Klopfer, who is working on this port, it's in a very work-in-progress state.
|
||||
|
||||
He intends to switch to XFCE 4.20 when it releases to get Wayland's support and do away with X11.
|
||||
|
||||
I can't wait to see how this turns out!
|
||||
|
||||
You can check out the [announcement blog][19] for more details on Rhino Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📥 Get Rhino Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Three distinct editions are on offer; one is a **Generic ISO for x86_64/ARM64** , the aforementioned **PinePhone ISO** , and finally, the **Raspberry Pi ISO**.
|
||||
|
||||
Head over to the [official site][20] to get the ISO of your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
[Rhino Linux][20]
|
||||
|
||||
You can also build it from scratch using the source code in its [GitHub repo][21].
|
||||
|
||||
I am excited to see what Rhino Linux can achieve in the future ⭐
