On this episode of Destination Linux (335), we discuss a rolling Ubuntu based distribution with Rhino Linux and we give some tips for screen recording on Wayland in our community feedback. Then we’re going to pay tribute to a special person and project. Plus, we have our tips, tricks and software picks for you. Let’s get this show on the road toward Destination Linux!

just stated playing with the vim mplayer extension (thanks Jill!) — I've used Vim for a few years now, and never realized there were extensions like this for it
The colon bang command in vim is described inside vimtutor, which everyone who wants to learn vim should go through.
I am subscribing for Jill. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work !
All desktops need to be rolling, any that are not means new hardware may not work or work as well as it should. This is one of the reasons Arch is so popular
I think Rhino Linux is interesting, but I'd love to have an immutable version of it because then I'd feel more secure about updates. And I think it would be great to have access to apt, deb-get, pacstall, as well as flatpak and snaps, plus distrobox and nix setup script to just have… everything pretty much under the sun which Rhino would have over even PikaOS (which is Nobara patches/modification ported to Ubuntu and with more mesa options).
OBS is what I use too. But I might try Spectacle new screenrecorder as I've transitioned to Wayland and apparently the screen recording is only for Wayland?
If you didn't know about using the bang command, then you didn't read the Vim tutorial… also built-in! 😉
Why Ubuntu have so many bugs. 22.04. 22.10. 23.04. Not usable on Lenovo Ideapad 3
So can you screen record with Wayland?
Of course Jill has a Vim t-shirt!.. let no one doubt Jill's bona-fides in the open source world!
I remember going to her Timeless Sequences website back in the day, and my internet wasn't fast enough to play the GIF's on the page.. most peoples weren't Lol. Yet appropriately enough, the page has been awarded a place in computer history in the Wayback Machine
Brilliant video as always!
Just want to clear up, that Pacstall is not the only thing that makes us rolling, as we do use the Ubuntu devel branch which is akin to Debian Sid in terms of package upgrades. As for the reason we don't have a software store, is that pre-existing ones do not have compatibilities with Pacstall, and so we are working on rpk-gui.
Pacstall is wonderful software, and I am honoured to have Elsie, the developer of Pacstall, on the team of Rhino Linux as well. Pacstall is managed both centrally and de-centrally, and so anyone can submit a package, however if they are left orphaned the Pacstall team will often maintain them themselves, and they also check for security in pull requests to add pacscripts to the user repository, and so I'd say it's more secure than the AUR, in that way.
I'm glad you enjoy the Unicorn Desktop, we certainly take a lot of pride in our desktop. It uses a variety of components that we have forked or modified, and the end goal is to keep a very light, minimal xfce4 base. Settings, window manager and panel as well as a few applets, but the rest being developed in-house by the Rhino Linux team. It will just take us a while to get there.
My heartfelt condolences to those mourning the loss of Bram. I currently use Vim, but have been disdained by the words of those who have come out to say that they do not have the time to support Vim as Bram did. Security updates will arrive but the big feature that were coming will not be picked up any time soon if ever. I will stick around and always keep Vim on my machine, but If things occur as I've heard, I will probably move to NeoVim. It's unfortunate, Vim is still such a powerful tool and will remain such. This all brings me to tears.
Yeah I tried it and gave up after I couldn’t find a software store. I’ve been using Linux off and on since 2009/2010 with Jolicloud on a Dell 9” netbook but I just don’t care about the terminal. I try to use it as little as possible. I heard them say it’s meant for developers so I understand this isn’t for me but if they do add a store someday I’ll give it another shot.
Simple Screen Recorder used to be a solid, simple screen recorder.
You guys share a wonderful dynamic. I love how you interact with each other. Plus, your content is suburb.
just a question about a rolling Ubuntu.. I understand it might start out as Ubuntu but with changes to software/kernel/updates, it will get so far ahead of Ubuntu that updates so much slower that it will cease to be Ubuntu, how would you keep that from happening?
