DM 31.1: Rhino Linux, an Odd Combo...
Ubuntu based, but rolling, and stable, all at the same time? Let’s take a look at this oddball.
It came from Rolling Rhino Remix, a passion project that people took a shining to. Stable Ubuntu, based on a tweaked XFCE DE, and Pacstall (an AUR-like repository for Ubuntu), but with rolling updates. How does that work? Special scripts that pull the latest packages from testing (my guess), rather than waiting for point releases in April and October every year. There is some other special sauce under the hood, and Rhino Linux is not live yet, and will not be until sometime early next year. If you want a taste of it, check out its preecessor, Rolling Rhino Remix.

Scripture. Encouragement. Choose to depend on Him today, let Him carry and strengthen you in your day. Learn to lean on Him afresh today, you will find that even if the events of the day are not any more positive in nature, you will still be in a better place at the end of the day than you would’ve if you have been doing it all on your own.

DM 31-2: ZorinOS 16.2 Released, What’s New?
Quite a bit, but also not much... They stuck with Ubuntu LTS (22.04) as the base, but made it easier to use windows apps with their Windows App Support item in the System Tools section in the App Menu. They’ve updated to LibreOffice 7.4 as well as improving their Zorin Connect app to make it easier to link your phone and computer (sounds a bit like a tweaked version of KDE Connect to me, but I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say for sure. This and so much more... Take a look if you are just looking to come over from Windows.

DM 31-3: SparkyLinux 2022.10 Updated
SparkyLinux is a rolling distro anyway, which is an oddity in the Debian world, but they released a refresh of their ISOs which includes the latest 6.0.3 kernel, a new Sparky7 Theme support for GTK 2/3/4, as well as Sparky5-LXQT-Theme, all to support light and dark theming, also replaces LightDM with SDDM on the Xfce and MATE desktops.
