We're glad you could join us :) These forums will serve as another way that we are able to engage with you, our community, and for members of our community to engage with each other!
In addition to our forums, we have set up official Rhino Linux email addresses. You can also contact us at:
- contact@rhinolinux.org - General enquiries, help & support, PR.
- desktop@rhinolinux.org - Desktop development and bug reporting.
- systems@rhinolinux.org - Rhino Linux systems development and bug reporting.
- pacstall@rhinolinux.org - Pacstall development (in regards to Rhino Linux) and bug reporting.
We will continue to be active in our community Discord, of course, with development discussion occurring both on our Discord and now our forums. We have cross-posted critical information like certain announcements, tracker issues deemed a priority by us and active hotfixes.
Many thanks, and happy rolling,
The Rhino Linux Team

Rhino Team,
I AM curious but, I swore I'd never use an Ubuntu based distro again.
I REALLY do not like Ubuntu as a company or a Linux.
So, I won't be installing it but I made an account to ask this one question.WHY? Why would you base a new Linux on Ubuntu.
I use Arch based roiling releases and they're fine.
I simply do not trust Ubuntu for any type of day to day use--now it is a rolling release?I'll watch from the side lines just because it should be interesting at least.
Without doing an y further reading, do you supports SNAPS (uug).That's enough for me to never install it.
Cheers-I truly, truly hope it is a success for you all.

Every time a new Ubuntu-based distro appears, the same question comes up: why Ubuntu? And it’s a fair one. Many users have strong opinions about Canonical, Snaps, and Ubuntu’s overall direction. Others swear by Arch, Fedora, or Debian, and for them, Ubuntu is the last place they’d consider building a new project.
But here’s the reality: for all its controversies, Ubuntu remains one of the most widely supported Linux bases. Hardware vendors target it. Developers build and test against it. That broad support makes it a reliable foundation for innovation.
Take Rhino Linux as an example. Yes, it’s Ubuntu under the hood, but the goal isn’t to adopt everything Canonical does. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Rhino removes features many users dislike — like mandatory Snaps — and adds its own innovations: a rolling release model, Pacstall (a community-driven package system similar to Arch’s AUR), Flatpak support, and its own meta-package manager (rpk) to tie it all together.
In other words, it’s not just “another Ubuntu spin.” It asks a different question: what if you could combine Ubuntu’s hardware compatibility and ecosystem advantages with the freshness and flexibility of Arch-like rolling releases?
Of course, it won’t convince everyone. If you’re already happy in Arch land, Rhino may not be for you. But for new users, or anyone who wants rolling software without the full DIY overhead, it’s an exciting approach.
And that’s the beauty of Linux: you don’t have to love every distro, or even install them all. Sometimes it’s enough to watch new projects grow, push boundaries, and see which ideas stick.
Curious but skeptical? Keep watching. Every question and critique helps make the Rhino Linux ecosystem stronger.
