Great news, fellow Linux enthusiasts! Rhino Linux has officially shed its Beta label, unleashing the new Rhino Linux 2023.1. This release is available for x86_64, ARM, Pine64, and Raspberry Pi devices.
AJ, the primary developer behind Rhino Linux, evolved the project from a simple hobby into an entirely new desktop operating system. Inspired by the initial success of Rolling Rhino Remix, the idea of Rhino Linux was born in October 2022, aiming for a maintainable and practical solution.

Linuxiac and OMG Ubuntu:
> After six betas, the distribution developers released the first stable version, Rhino 2023.1, today, so we can’t wait to bring you our impressions of it.
> Following a series of successful beta builds (which passed me by, I confess) Rhino Linux 2023.1 is now available to download. This snapshot release is available for 64-bit Intel/AMD systems and ARM64, with specific builds provided for Pine64 and Raspberry Pi devices.
Liliputing:
> Rhino Linux is a new GNU/Linux distribution that’s based on Ubuntu, but which handles some key things differently from Canonical’s operating system. Unlike Ubuntu, Rhino is a rolling release operating system, which means that updates are delivered frequently, and whenever they’re available rather than saving everything up for a major OS update that comes only a few times per year (if that).
It's FOSS News:
> After much waiting, its first stable release is here!
> Let's dig in and see what Rhino Linux has to offer.
Linux Magazine:
> Rhino Linux brings this to Ubuntu.
> Rhino ships with a customized version of Xfce (version 4.18), called Unicorn, and uses a package manager called Pacstall, which is similar to Arch's AUR. Pacstall is a meta-package manager that combines apt, pacstall, flatpak, and snap into an easy-to-use GUI. There is also a customized Calamares installer and an app called Your System, which is a GUI tool that allows you to view system information at a glance.
The Register:
> Rhino Linux 2023.1 is the first full release of a new distro we mentioned last October – as we did its progenitor, Rolling Rhino half a year before then. Rhino Linux is a rolling-release distro which draws on the basis of the current development branch of Ubuntu, combining some novel package-management tools inspired by Arch Linux, wrapped up with a custom Xfce-based desktop.
