Hannah Montana Linux is getting an update after 18 years. Will it be just updating all the software and standards or will it re-envision Hannah Montana nostalgia with hindsight? Can you ever step in the same river twice?

It truly is the year of the linux desktop.

It's always the year of desktop Linux.

It was funny (and untrue) when desktop Linux was constantly at ~1% market share. But now with desktop Linux slowly but constantly rising, it's actually true!

built on D...

True homage to the artist 🤣

So since it is basically just a pre-themed Debian installation, it would not only be a gimmicky Linux distribution but a viable daily driver as well.

Will it also go through the "wrecking ball"-phase?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

That would be Miley Cyrus Linux. Which doesn't exist. But if it did I would name my localhost Jolene.

Miley Cyrus Linux exists, but you cannot have it and Hannah Montana Linux on the same partition.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I'd probably install it in that case. Like a dark mode.

I remember when the original came out.

Renewing the theme is funny I guess, but its not really a distrobution. I hate that article for this.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
