    It's the end of the year, and 2025.4 snapshot images are here! It's been a quiet few months, but we are proud to announce our end-of-year snapshots. To upgrade to 2025.4, please run rpk update -y Our key highlight this time around is the release of our UBXI Lomiri Desktop package, and our first official UBXI spin images, featuring Lomiri on PINE64 devices. This key delivery is tied to our sponsorship with UBports, and we hope you are as happy as we are that it has come to fruition. If you want to try out Lomiri on other devices, the ubxi-lomiri-desktop package is also available from Pacstall. Rhino Linux in 2026 We are planning on shaking up our release process for the upcoming year, with the goal of more frequent snapshot releases. Often we have held our releases back due to specific platforms experiencing issues, where others have been prepped and ready. We intend to break this up so that tried and tested images make their way through the cycle, without being bogged down and held behind by other platforms. In addition, we aim to have more smaller, maintenance-style releases, featuring the latest package updates, so that upgrades do not build up for so long. By breaking up our release process, we hope that we can continue to iterate and resolve issues at a more timely pace than we previously had. With this new process, not every release will necessarily be worthy of a blog post. Throughout the year, we will still be providing "Updates to Rhino Linux" blogs at a similar frequency to our current cycle, with a collection and breakdown of our changes from the last time we posted about them. Finally, we are still actively working towards several commitments we made in 2025, with us now aiming to release additional UBXI packages and disk image spins sometime in the new year, as well as improving our OS builder workflows and documentation.

    Rhino Linux sets itself apart with RPK, its lightweight, user-friendly package manager. Unlike heavier tools like apt, RPK keeps commands simple and readable while still offering full functionality: update, upgrade, install, remove, and search—all with minimal typing. Designed for a rolling release, it’s fast, clean, and easy for newcomers but precise enough for pros. RPK isn’t just a tool—it’s part of Rhino Linux’s identity, making package management smoother and giving the distro its own sleek, modern rhythm.

    I could not figure out how to do it with pacstall, but with some experimentation with apt, this works sudo apt remove linux-modules-6.17.0-061700rc6-generic for example

    Associated tracker issue: https://github.com/rhino-linux/tracker/issues/126 oklopfer created this issue in rhino-linux/tracker open Important Pacstall update (February 2026) #126 A recent change in upstream Ubuntu's coreutils (via uutils) causes breakage to Pacstall, which prevents it from being able to run *any* commands. We have pushed an [emergency patch](https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall/releases/tag/6.3.9) to resolve this issue, but running `rpk update` may result in Pacstall being unable to update itself. To fix this, please run the following command to update it manually: ```bash LC_ALL=C pacstall -U ``` We apologize for any caused inconvenience.
