Rhino Linux 2026.1 was released on May 24, 2026. The headline addition is generic ISO images for x86_64 and ARM64 featuring the Lomiri desktop environment, developed in collaboration with the UBports team. Lomiri was previously limited to mobile hardware such as the PinePhone and PineTab; 2026.1 extends it to standard desktops and ARM64 single-board computers, though support is noted as still evolving.
