I was the kid who liked to tinker away and do everything - depending on the kid, don't deprive them of that joy (seriously for me that was 90% of the fun) although if kids don't want to tinker, don't make them 🤣

That's fair! And one day we do plan to have a disk image you can customise from the ground up, but that requires significant work and time that we would rather spend polishing other aspects of the distro right now.

No snaps are optional. Just because we are Ubuntu based doesn't mean we *are* Ubuntu.

Lmao I wouldn't install an OS on someone else's PC without their knowledge personally, but that's your decision to make.

One piece of information I will say that is crucial to your experience is to not treat it like Ubuntu, and to read our Wiki. We deviate a lot from the traditional Ubuntu experience + there are some known issues with 2024.2 (that will be solved in the next release) wiki.rhinolinux.org

That'd be great, I'm always happy to hear perspectives from new users by the way, so feel free to drop your pros + complaints to me 🤣

Computer setup is so fun honestly. While it's shameful I have brought products in the past just to set them up because I love that feeling 😂

Even if you don't wish to switch, If the concept interests you then I strongly encourage you to join our Discord community (if you use Discord, that is, we do plan to setup forums in the future) - We're always happy to see new community members join :)

To be honest, never switch to a distro just because of the theme, Rhino is cool even without our theme. While Rhino Linux is an ubuntu-based rolling release distribution, we are NOT Ubuntu, nor do we try to be. We use rhino-pkg and pacstall to handle packages, snaps are very much optional + more.

While pastel purple is lovely, I do think we'd get a lot of complaints if our main theme was light mode 🤣 although possibly offering it as an alternate theme could come in the future 🤔

The one thing I will never get over is how good Macbook displays are, sometimes it makes me miss owning a Macbook but then I remember how horrible the UX of macOS is 🤣

The purple is nice, hands down my favourite colour lmao, and I think it's quite pleasing. Our next two releases aim to polish the user experience significantly as well.

I mean you can be the judge for yourself, although I will say despite our small development team, we get the job done! rhinolinux.org

I was documenting what everyone did for our group assignment by checking merged PRs. Horrible news, we were so close to finishing it too

Took me a while to finally get around to making a Bluesky account, for a long while I just didn't use "X" or any twitter alternative, but my friend finally won me over.
