The new project, called Hannah Montana Linux v26.0, brings back the internet-famous distro as a Debian-based live system with a heavily themed KDE Plasma desktop. Importantly, rather than being built from scratch, it is a nostalgic remaster that simply updates the original joke for today’s Linux desktop.

Modern times call for modern solutions: Hatsune Miku Linux

basically nyarch.

I do not endorse nyarch. I don't particularly condone it, but I did not have a good experience with stability. Unsure if it was the shitty pc, the OS , arch being arch or the user.

This is just called Linux

Ok but unironically I would seriously consider that distro as my daily

[-] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 41 points 9 hours ago

It is silly, unnecessary, and probably not something most people will use every day.

Well now I'm going to unironically use it as my daily driver.

one day, Hannah Montana Linux will become the most popular Linux distro on the Steam Hardware Survey

I mean honestly there's not any reason you couldn't. Other than I'm not sure how well it will be maintained.

Of course, no one should mistake Hannah Montana Linux v26.0 for a mainstream Linux distro meant for production use

i find this a little insulting

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 18 points 8 hours ago

I mean, at the end of the day, it's still Debian, only with a themed KDE Plasma (or LXQt) desktop.

You mean it shouldn't be run on nuclear launch computers?

[-] GrilledCheese@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 hours ago

This would be better as a stand-alone theme imo

Of course it would, but then it wouldn't be a useful illustrative example when teaching noobs what a distro is.

Wrong direction.
