As part of https://github.com/rhino-linux/tracker/issues/85 here is the custom styling for the NodeBB forum we are setting up. If any issues are found report them on this Pull Request. The forum is currently only accessible by the forum administrators (Rhino Linux Team). If members of the Rhino Linux Team wish to test, then log into https://forum.rhinolinux.org with your user account. The Custom CSS is already applied and can be modified in the admin panel.

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** It would be a great addition to be able to provide Rhino Linux as a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) distribution. This will allow for developers and users who are tied to Windows as their primary or work OS to still have the ability to use and contribute to Rhino Linux in their environment. The process should be relatively simple, extracting the `rootfs` from a Rhino Docker as a tarball. This is currently [the supported way ](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/use-custom-distro) of using a custom distro on WSL. **We should:** - Include WSL-specific config files within the image. - Automate the build process of the WSL tarball using GitHub Actions, as this is necessary for our image builder. **We could:** - Bundle a custom "first run" script with our WSL images, to set up the environment on initial launch. - Write a Wiki guide explaining how to manually set up Rhino on WSL as a starting point, before creating our image builder. **Additional context** https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/use-custom-distro https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/build-custom-distro **Note:** We have agreed that if we are to pursue this idea, we are not going to be creating our WSL Image Builder until *after* our 2025.4 cycle.

 **What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** > We currently have long-term plans to move development discussions away from Discord and onto a public-facing forum, which should allow for more structured discussions, better organization of development tasks and a more centralized location for development discussions. Until then, we will continue to utilise Discord as our primary development channel. Updates on the development of this forum will come soon. - Us, circa [2024](https://blog.rhinolinux.org/news-14). A large portion of the effort has been started by myself, using NodeBB with our own custom CSS. Just putting it here to formalize the feature request. PRs soon to follow. **Describe alternatives you've considered** - Other forms of official contact could include emails, we will be doing this too. Again, most of the effort has been done by myself and @Elsie19 .

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** Currently the password to unlock the system is very bland:  Whereas other distros have a nicer prompt:  **Describe alternatives you've considered** Keeping it the same.

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** Myself and @oklopfer believe that it would be best if we created an overarching GUI "Rhino Settings" application. This application would assume the role of `rhino-system`, thus deprecating it in the process, as well as perform additional functions. The application should: - Perform the functions of `rhino-system` including displaying system information and providing the ability to perform a full system upgrade. - Have a tab for applying hotfixes from `rhino-hotfix` - Have a tab for applying testing features aka: `rhino-stampede` - When the application is opened in Unicorn, it should display a "Unicorn Settings" tab for enabling/disabling Unicorn features, integrating command requiring GTK+XFCE4 into a single toggle, and some customization! - This may require a CLI utility to go hand-in-hand with this. Ideally the application would use: - Gtk4/Libadwaita - After some discussion we are also open to using `flet` so long as we find a solid workaround to the icon issue. **Describe alternatives you've considered** - A specific "Unicorn Settings" application. **Additional context** N/A

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** It idles at 43Mb of memory doing nothing, which is not ideal. I have tried to write it in zig, using the libs that the python program uses under the hood but came to various errors. I will try later; this issue is just here for for posterity. Doing this also would mean it's one less program that doesn't depend on python (yay). **Describe alternatives you've considered** Not rewriting, but that's no fun, and I would rather have my 43Mb back.

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** The pictures are outdated and ugly.

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** We are discussing possibly implementing `ubuntu-drivers` configuration into `rhino-setup`, as it does a lot of solid auto-detection. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Currently, we just tell people to do it themselves, and give them wiki pages. It would be nice if it was not manual. **Additional context** Regardless, I need to add this broadcom driver tip if WiFi is not working to wiki: ``` rpk install broadcom-sta-dkms sudo modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac sudo modprobe wl ```

Since NextJS 15 & Tailwind v4 have been out for a while, it makes sense to begin efforts to migrate our websites before the older versions become deprecated. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/upgrade-guide https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-15 Key dates: - NextJS versions are maintained for ~2 years post-release, meaning Next 14 will be EOL on ~October 26th 2025.

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** Our own kernel builds so that we do not depend/rely on Ubuntu mainline **Describe alternatives you've considered** None **Additional context** 

**Rhino Linux version & platform:** 6.12.12-generic **What distribution component is causing issues:** rhino-setup I think **Describe the bug** When you boot a fresh install of Rhino on a 1080p screen, the welcome wizard windows are too large **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Boot fresh install of Rhino on 1920x1080 2. Windows too big **Expected behavior** The welcome windows are normal size **Screenshots**  **Additional context** N/A

Will update this later just wanted to get it written down Context: https://github.com/rhino-linux/tracker/issues/60#issuecomment-2927613817

**Rhino Linux version & platform:** 2025.2 **What distribution component is causing issues:** UBXI KDE Desktop **Describe the bug** I've noticed several issues on the UBXI KDE Desktop in an X Session that are not present in the Wayland session. Corners not becoming rounded, not all components loading properly etc. I believe the best plan of action would be to disable X all-together, considering our aims to move away from X to Wayland as well as these issues mentioned. **To Reproduce** 1. Install UBXI KDE 2. Enter in an X11 session through your display manager.

**What feature would you like to see included in Rhino Linux?** Please give a clear and concise description of what you want to happen Will systemd-boot be added to the installer as an alternative to GRUB? **Describe alternatives you've considered** Please give a clear description of alternative solutions you have considered. Using an OS not based on Ubuntu. **Additional context** I could not find any articles regarding Rhino Linux and systemd-boot. Please advise if Rhino has any tech tips for this. Rhino works well for me. Thankyou!
