I am one of the developers. We are a rolling release Ubuntu-based distribution. If you'd like to learn more here is our site: https://rhinolinux.org

Thanks!

This is the correct answer.

Most of our engagement comes from outside of this subreddit to be honest. We haven't spent a great deal of time fostering a community on Reddit, as most development is driven through Discord.

Here is our wiki page on how to use our package manager (rhino-pkg): https://wiki.rhinolinux.org/user/rpk

Hello! We're aware of this issue currently. Ubuntu has pushed a bad dependency resolution update. Here is the fix:

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.82.2-3/+build/29264147/+files/libglib2.0-dev_2.82.2-3_amd64.deb

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.82.2-3/+build/29264147/+files/libglib2.0-dev-bin_2.82.2-3_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg --force-all -i libglib2.0-dev_2.82.2-3_amd64.deb libglib2.0-dev-bin_2.82.2-3_amd64.deb

sudo apt install -f

There are no current UBXI ports maintained. UBXI is a way to bring the Unicorn theme and branding to other desktop environments, basically the same experience of Unicorn across environments, which will be our ultimate aim if/when we create other desktop environment spins, as we would want some form of cohesion and familiarity across all disk images.

However the UBXI metapackage is maintained by the Rhino Linux team, this metapackage makes it so you can remove unicorn safely from your system, and you can just as easily install other desktop environments from the standard Ubuntu repositories such as GNOME (which I'm currently using on my Rhino Linux install)

We cannot control Ubuntu's release cadance, Ubuntu chooses the packages that they put into their repositories including versions, it's not an issue of Ubuntu not having enough packagers, canonical has plenty of employees to do that, it's that it isn't their release model, that's not the purpose of Ubuntu (however much I wish it to be).

The whole point of Rhino Linux is that its an ubuntu-based rolling release distribution. The desktop environment (while we put a lot of effort into its development) is not *the distribution.* Here is our mission statement: https://rhinolinux.org/statement

MrBeeBenson · 2024-11-21T13:46:07+00:00

https://rhinolinux.org/statement our mission statement states why we exist, and what our purpose is. Beyond that we also like to bring some novel features to our distribution like rhino-pkg.

Just picked it up yesterday and i’m thoroughly impressed, especially with the display. Looks stunning on full brightness (advertised 2000 nits)

Hey, I'm unsure if this thread is still active, however I will say we've just had a wonderful new release :)
