    The post I originally replied to here said that main difference between this "Rolling Rhino Remix" and Ubuntu's development branch were additional repositories. And https://rollingrhinoremix.github.io/ also says that.

    There is a rolling release of Ubuntu called Rolling Rhino, which you can use if you like, but be aware that this is a newish and unofficial distribution.

    Why would this unofficial third-party system that takes a bunch of steps on top of the official Ubuntu release have any effect on Canonical support policies? Sure, the article is badly written and unclear, but that it isn't an official Ubuntu thing is pretty clear from the description of how it works:

    “How is this achieved? According to the documentation, it’s mainly accomplished by tracking ‘devel’ repositories, which are repositories that have existed for every release but are not often used in production. You must start with a modified Ubuntu image which can be found here. Then, the distribution must be ‘initialized’ by follow steps in the documentation. Lastly, you need to use their custom tool called ‘rhino-update’ which extends the capabilities to apt that allow the distribution to update itself outside of the normal confines of a traditional Ubuntu release.”

    It's even more clear if you go the linked page on Rolling Rhino Remix that it describes instead of the incompetently-written article:

    https://rollingrhinoremix.github.io/

    “Rolling Rhino Remix is an un-official Ubuntu flavour which converts the Ubuntu operating system into a rolling release Linux distriibution by tracking the devel series.”

    Me and a few other contributors have spent almost two weeks working on this to get it to the point where we are ready for our first release and it's finally here! I'm pretty excited to get this released and work on the 2nd release. You can check out the website and download it here: https://rollingrhinoremix.github.io

    I’m using Ubuntu. I left for fedora a while ago but came back ahead of the 22.04 release. I’m working on Rolling Rhino Remix, which is a rolling release Ubuntu, so when that releases I’ll probably go to that. One more day to wait!
