Rhino Linux Announces Latest "Quick Update"

Sep 06, 2024

If you prefer your Linux distribution to be of the rolling type, Rhino Linux delivers a beautiful and reliable experience.

Rhino Linux has delivered a new release, version 2024.2, just two months after the previous one with some serious updates.

Based on Ubuntu, Rhino Linux leverages the Pacstal package manager for installing tons of applications, as well as sane defaults and a highly customized Xfce desktop environment.

With the latest release, there's a new Unicorn theme with a brand new GTK/XFWM4/Kvantum default theme to replace the older Yaru-Purple scheme. The new theme is a significant improvement over the previous one.

Along with the new theme, you'll find a much improved Setup Wizard that includes a significant number of containerized options, a new package manager, and the option to add Night Shift. Other options include the Nix package manager, Docker, Podman, Flatseal, Distrobox, VirtualBox, Qemu, and Redshift.

Pacstall also has benefited from the update with the addition of PkgBase splitting that allows the building of multiple individual packages from a single pacscript.

Rhino Linux 2024.2 ships with kernel 6.10.7 for the generic ISO images, kernel 6.9.0-okpine for Pine64 images, and kernel 6.8.0-raspi for Raspberry Pi images.

You can read more about the latest release in the official announcement and download an ISO from the Rhino Linux download page.
