https://www.phoronix.com/news/openSUSE-Deciding-32-bit-ARM
(I think it's a good thing that at least they ask their users directly, and don't just drop the proposal if there's a strong pushback like what Fedora did.)
KDE Frameworks 6.16 released with improved recognition of the most powerful GPU, support for showing the newest files first in open/save dialogs, inertial scrolling (a.k.a. kinetic scrolling) for all scrollable views in all QtQuick-based KDE applications when scrolled using a touchpad, etc.:

🌟 Guten Morgen und einen fantastischen Montag! 🌟
Startet die Woche mit Rhino Linux – der benutzerfreundlichen und anpassbaren Linux-Distribution! 🐾
Egal, ob auf dem Desktop oder dem Raspberry Pi, Rhino Linux bringt frischen Wind in eure Projekte! 🚀
Rhino Linux 2025.3 ist jetzt verfügbar!
RhinoLinux hebt sich von anderen Linux-Distributionen durch seine Ubuntu-basierte Rolling Release-Natur ab, die kontinuierliche Updates ermöglicht. Dies sorgt dafür, dass Nutzer stets die neuesten Softwareversionen nutzen können. Mit dem Pacstall-Paketmanager haben Anwender Zugriff auf Software aus Arch Linux-Repositories, wodurch die Auswahl an Anwendungen erheblich erweitert wird.
Das Linux kann ebenfalls auf einem Raspberry Pi installiert werden da es ARM Prozessoren unterstützt.

Rhino Linux has a new KDE Desktop flavor now. 🎨
I ended up removing a lot of the components that make Rhino Linux, #RhinoLinux. They just had problems, so I went for the classic Whisker menu, and a cleaner Plank (keeping appmenu).
Tried RhinoLinux today. A good MacOS-like concept, but it's hampered by bad defaults (scrolling on touchpad changes workspaces & rolls windows up, very easy to do accidentally), and some bugs: Plank not saving user changes after a logout (e.g. theme, position, order), the Appmenu's sizing, the direction of natural scrolling not working on all xfce apps (VERY annoying), and AppGrid doesn't respond well to touchpad.
