你可能还记得我们 [去年](https://news.itsfoss.com/rhino-linux/) 报道过，Rhino Linux 将会接替现已停止开发的 “[Rolling Rhino Remix](https://github.com/rollingrhinoremix)”。


经过漫长的等待，它的首个稳定版本终于发布了！


现在我们就一起来看看 Rhino Linux 有哪些值得特别关注的地方。


### Rhino Linux 到底是什么？ ?

Rhino Linux 是一个基于 Ubuntu，使用了改版的 XFCE 4.18 以及 Pacstall 作为核心，提供了无忧用户体验的滚动发布版系统。

采用 XFCE 4.18 使得 Rhino Linux 能利用各种新优化，比如 Thunar 文件管理器的提升，增强的桌面/面板 等等。

接着我们来说说 [Pacstall](https://pacstall.dev/)，一个受到 AUR 启发的包管理器，它可以处理从内核安装到安装网页浏览器的所有任务。


所有与 Rhino Linux 相关的包都打包成 [pacscript](https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall/wiki/Pacscript-101)，任何操作系统的更新都可以通过 Pacstall 来完成。


**那么，这个发行版的感觉和表现如何？**


首次启动 Rhino Linux 时，你会遇到一个使用 Rust 构建的简洁现代的快速设置向导。

当你进行下一步时，你可以在三种不同的包管理器中进行选择：Flatpak ，Snap，以及 AppImage。


![](/data/attachment/album/202308/19/225309n5oyxsdoee9fom5n.png)


这样的功能得益于他们自创的定制包管理包装器 rhino-pkg，它可以让你从各种支持的仓库中搜索、安装、移除和更新包。


相比于最新的官方 Ubuntu 版本，你可以自由选择从开箱即用的 Flatpak 开始。


然后还有一些额外设置你可以选择启用。


其中一个是启用这个精妙的基于 Python 的 apt 包管理前端，，[Nala](https://itsfoss.com/nala/)。


![](/data/attachment/album/202308/19/225310rb8cttb8cfew88qv.png)


另一个是 [Apport](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport)，这是一个崩溃报告系统，在系统崩溃的情况下可以让开发者知道你的安装有任何问题。


完成这些设置后，你看见的是一个非常简洁的桌面布局，包括一个干净的壁纸和一个悬浮的程序坞。


![](/data/attachment/album/202308/19/225310br813569h3g1getg.png)


他们将自家桌面称为 “<ruby> 独角兽桌面 <rt>  Unicorn Desktop </rt></ruby>”，这是一个基于大幅修改过的 XFCE 构建的桌面。


它的目标是将现代和传统的最佳实践结合在一起，为桌面用户体验提供包含两者优点的体验。


![](/data/attachment/album/202308/19/225311y0u3o2qt2t33botb.png)


独角兽桌面还包含了一些附加的免费软件解决方案，如 [uLauncher](https://ulauncher.io/)（替代了 spotlight 的搜索工具）、lightpad（作为新的应用启动器）以及许多其他功能。

可以 [在这里](https://rhinolinux.org/unicorn.html) 阅读更多关于他们定制桌面体验的信息。


总的来说，用户体验相对直观，而且 Rhino 主题的壁纸看起来很漂亮。


**还有其他亮点吗？**


当然有！


本次发布还包含了一个我很期待看到的引人注目的版本。


这是一个**用于 PinePhone 设备（原版/Pro 版）的 Rhino Linux 移植版**，基于最新的 **Ubuntu Touch（20.04）**，它是首个基于 XFCE 的移动环境。


正如你可以从负责这个移植的 Oren Klopfer 分享的视频中看到的，它还处在非常初步的状态。


他打算在 XFCE 4.20 发布时就进行切换，以获得 Wayland 的支持并摒弃 X11。


我迫不及待地想看到结果了！


在 [发布博客](https://rhinolinux.org/news-6.html) 上你可以找到更多关于 Rhino Linux 的细节。


### ? 获取 Rhino Linux


有三个不同版本供你选择，一个是通用 ISO，适用于 x86\_64/ARM64 ，提到的PinePhone ISO，还有Raspberry Pi ISO。


你可以在 [此处](https://rhinolinux.org/download.html) 下载对应的 ISO。

You might remember us covering [last year](https://news.itsfoss.com/rhino-linux/) that Rhino Linux would be the successor of the now-defunct '[Rolling Rhino Remix](https://github.com/rollingrhinoremix?ref=news.itsfoss.com)'.

After much waiting, its first stable release is here!

Let's dig in and see what Rhino Linux has to offer.

## Rhino Linux: What is it? 🦏

![a screenshot of the neofetch output on rhino linux](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Rhino_Linux_1.png)

Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based, **rolling release distro** that uses a **modified version of XFCE 4.18**, alongside **Pacstall** at its core, for a hassle-free user experience.

The inclusion of XFCE 4.18 enables Rhino Linux to take advantage of the various improvements on offer, such as **improvements to the Thunar file manager**, **enhanced desktop/panel**, and more.

You can check out our coverage on the same to know more.

[XFCE 4.18 Release Looks Impressive!Xfce 4.18 is here with interesting feature additions and subtle changes.](https://news.itsfoss.com/xfce-4-18-release/)![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/xfce-4-18-release.png)


![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/xfce-4-18-release.png)

Then there's '[Pacstall](https://pacstall.dev/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)', which is an AUR-inspired package manager that handles everything starting from kernel installs, all the way to installing a web browser.

As all Rhino Linux-related packages are packaged as '[pacscript](https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall/wiki/Pacscript-101?ref=news.itsfoss.com)', any OS updates can be done through Pacstall.

**So, how does the distro feel and behave?**

Well, when you first boot up into Rhino Linux, you are greeted with a very **clean and modern-looking quick-setup wizard** built using Rust.

**on It's FOSS. You may check it out to explore Rust programming language.**

[Rust Basics Series](https://itsfoss.com/tag/rust/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)When you proceed, you are given the option to choose from three distinct package managers: **Flatpak**, **Snap,** and **AppImage**.

![a screenshot of the package manager in the quick setup wizard on rhino linux](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Rhino_Linux_3.png)

Such functionality is thanks to implementing their **custom package management wrapper**, 'rhino-pkg'. Which allows you to search, install, remove, and update packages from the various supported repositories.

In contrast to the latest official Ubuntu flavors, you have the freedom to have Flatpak enabled out-of-the-box.

Then there are the extra settings that you can opt to enable.

One is to enable the wonderful Python-based frontend for apt package management, '[Nala](https://itsfoss.com/nala/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)'.

The other is '[Apport](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport?ref=news.itsfoss.com)', a crash reporting system, that lets the developers know of any issues with your installation in the event of a system crash.

When you finish that, you get to see a **very clean desktop layout** with a neat wallpaper, and a floating dock.

![a screenshot of the unicorn desktop on rhino linux](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Rhino_Linux_5.png)

They have dubbed their desktop as '**The Unicorn Desktop**' which has been built in-house with a heavily modified version of XFCE.

It aims to combine the best of both traditional and modern approaches for the desktop user experience.

![a screenshot of the about section of ulauncher on rhino linux](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Rhino_Linux_6.png)

The Unicorn desktop also features a few free add-on software solutions, such as [ uLauncher](https://ulauncher.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com),

**a**

**replacement for spotlight search**,

**lightpad as the new app launcher**, and

**many other features**.

You can read more about their customized desktop experience ** here**.

Overall, the user experience seems relatively straightforward, and the Rhino-themed wallpaper looks lovely.

**Any other highlights?**

Yes!

This release has an interesting variant that I am excited to see.

It is a **Rhino Linux port for PinePhone devices** (the original one/Pro), based on the latest version of **Ubuntu Touch (20.04)**, it is the first XFCE-based mobile environment.

As you can see from the video shared by Oren Klopfer, who is working on this port, it's in a very work-in-progress state.

He intends to switch to XFCE 4.20 when it releases to get Wayland's support and do away with X11.

I can't wait to see how this turns out!

You can check out the [announcement blog](https://rhinolinux.org/news-6.html?ref=news.itsfoss.com) for more details on Rhino Linux.

## 📥 Get Rhino Linux

Three distinct editions are on offer; one is a **Generic ISO for x86_64/ARM64**, the aforementioned **PinePhone ISO**, and finally, the **Raspberry Pi ISO**.
