@Makaha thats how sidux was when it first came along. you had to exit out of X and run a script to update, but it was one of the first rolling distros i had run across. i am not handy with scripting, so i will just manually update once a week or so and if they grant a notification that would be awesome.

purple and green, but my purple is #5d4e6a which seems to go well with the unicorn theming.

Installed a couple of days ago and so fari am loving it. i have manjaro on another laptop and solus on a work laptop-all rolling. Super excited to see a debian/ubuntu roller, thank you. installed the kde-ubxi and seems to run great but havnt got into it too much yet. rpk is awesome!! i like that you get the choice of activated repositories to install from. Not a huge fan of flatpaks, but in some rare instances it is the only thing available. Look forward to a long and bright future for Rihno linux!!

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.

For me, personally on Desktop PC’s I like to use stock Unicorn, and for laptops (or anything with a trackpad) then GNOME!

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that Rhino Linux worked so smoothly for you right out of the box and that you were able to personalize it just the way you like — from font size to taskbar placement and wallpapers. It’s also great to hear that having apt, Flatpak, Pacstall, Snap, Nix, and AppImages all ready to use made installing the software you need simple and hassle-free. The fact that Rhino runs well on both a lower-spec laptop and a more powerful one really highlights its versatility.

@oklopfer Oh absolutely and I love how mutually beneficial our relationship is with Pacstall. Both Rhino Linux and Pacstall have shaped each other massively over time.
