Rhino Linux 2024.1 Goes Live Overcoming Challenges
Quoting: Rhino Linux 2024.1 Goes Live Overcoming Challenges —
After a much-anticipated wait, more than five months after the latest 2023.4 release, the Rhino team has just announced the new Rhino Linux 2024.1. But before moving on, let’s briefly explain what this distribution is for those who might not be familiar with it.
Rhino is a rolling-release Ubuntu-based distro providing an in-house modified Xfce desktop environment called Unicorn Desktop. Have you encountered the terms “rolling release” and “Ubuntu” used together? It’s a pairing you might not often see, even with the wide variety of options in the Linux ecosystem.

Rhino Linux Gets its First Release of 2024 After Developer Burnout
Among the vast array of Ubuntu-based distributions, Rhino Linux is arguably one of the best rolling release Linux distros around, which had been receiving regular updates until last year, when the 2023.4 release was introduced.
Come February 2024, the developers of Rhino Linux put out a post on their website outlining the project's situation, which involved maintainer burnout, internal squabbles, and the need for a proper code of conduct as well as better maintainer documentation.
As a result, the development of Rhino Linux had to be paused to give everyone involved a much-needed break and to give them a bit of time to strategize how to move forward.
