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]'. + +![][11] + +**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 ⭐ + +📢 + +_Follow us on[Mastodon][22], and join our [Telegram channel][23] for news like this._ + +* * * + +### More from It's FOSS... + + * Learn Bash scripting for FREE with this [Bash Tutorial series][24]. + * Join our [community forum][25]. + * 📩 Stay updated with the latest on Linux and Open Source.
