D-RINE GNU/Linux aims to provide the most usable GNU/Linux experience for the common masses.
This is achieved by doing the following:

• Using Oracle Linux as the base distribution. I've had the least amount of problems with this distribution compared to others.
  
• Providing custom RPM packages to make KDE work perfectly on Oracle Linux since this is not supported out-of-box.
• Installing custom RPM packages to provide out-of-box support for 32bit and 64bit programs, better Windows compatibility, and other cherry-picked programs to keep the system usable and clean.

Disclaimer
Despite my work, D-RINE GNU/Linux is still far from perfect!
The most notable problems are limited driver support, GPU performance issues, and limited Windows compatibility.
Oracle Linux also contains a EULA that states you have access to the source code under GPL and related licenses and cannot use their name.

Upstreaming - 2024-03-11
Since my last news update in December of 2023 the Oracle Linux updates have gone pretty well.
Most of the packages I shipped are now included in the official repositories and I have re-worked my repository so that future updates will no longer cause problems or conflicts.
Installing like normal will also work now.
