Rhino [a rolling release Ubuntu-based distribution with Pacstall & XFCE at its core] has now officially moved out of Beta! We have released Rhino Linux 2023.1 on x86_64, ARM, Pine64 and Raspberry Pi devices.
Quite a lot has changed since our first beta release back in April 2023, and so instead of a generic changelog, I want to do something a little different and discuss what actually went into the making of the operating system.
So… is it Snap
infectederr… Snap based, like Ubuntu? Because otherwise it looks kinda neat.It does not use snaps, according to First Look at Rhino Linux, a Rolling-Release Distro Based on Ubuntu and Xfce:
You can make Ubuntu based distros without including snaps. E.g. Linux Mint removes them as well as Rhino Linux. Canonical has made some questionable decisions but one thing Ubuntu does well is drivers and hardware support.
