oh and props for that... for doing and making new things in general
Just that distro-where-a-theme-would-do is something I see a lot of and people might wind up tackling a larger harder problem than they need to and not spending as much time & effort on the stuff they intended to.
And, a lot lot lot more people can easily download & appreciate a theme than move distros (though some perverse individuals make a habit of the latter)

Someone tried it this year: https://www.xda-developers.com/i-tried-hannah-montana-linux-in-2025/
TL;DR complete failure. It hasn't been updated in 10 years.

Like a lot of Linux distros, this should have just been a window manager theme and maybe a helper app
Absolutely no sense bringing in stuff like init system and depmod and C compiler version when what you care about is UI theming

Sometimes, just maybe, people do things to see if they can.

One could have guessed from the image in the OP. KDE 4.2 is not exactly a recent piece of software anymore.
Peffse@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 341d
If using era-appropriate hardware, I wonder if you could use archived Kubuntu repos to upgrade one at a time until it's a modern Linux kernel.

Thanks for the link, I was gonna try it lol

People should consider Justin Bieber Linux, at least it isn't that outdated.
stupidcasey@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 341d
Damn, Someone should really revive that it's iconic at this point.

i use nyarch btw
https://nyarchlinux.moe/
sunoc@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 341d
Came here to say that. If you actually plan to daily a meme distro Nyarch is probably your best bet imo!

I use Rebecca black os btw
xxce2AAb@feddit.dk · 31 pts · 341d
No. Let me know if there's anything else.
comador@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 341d
How about Crunchbang or Linspire?
rumschlumpel@feddit.org · 8 pts · 341d
crunchbangplusplus and bunsenlabs exist as successors-in-spirit to crunchbang!
xxce2AAb@feddit.dk · 6 pts · 341d
Very infrequently and no, respectively.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 340d
i'm giving mint a try any day now
Luci@lemmy.ca · 19 pts · 341d
Yes, it’s the best right next to PuppyLinux and LinuxFromScratch
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org · 6 pts · 341d
What's wrong with Puppy Linux?
Luci@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 341d
Nothing! Great for live media and daily running. Recommend.
somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 341d
People doing LFS have ascended
swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 341d
I did it once. Never again.
somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 341d
Holy shit
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de · 19 pts · 341d
It's canonical (to me alone) that the HML is the basis for LCARS in the Star Trek universe.
4grams@awful.systems · 4 pts · 341d
It is now for me too :).
bizzle@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 341d
It's probably pretty out of date maybe you should pick something better maintained as a beginner like LFS
krunklom@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 341d
If you're not using HML you don't even deserve to breathe.

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 340d
It hasn't been updated in years.
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org · 8 pts · 341d
I always wanted to know if Miley ever used this.
SuperDuperKitten@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 341d
The only footage of Miley checking if anyone talk about Hannah Montana Linux /j
Boxwine@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 341d
I think Hannah used it, but I don't know if Miley did
klu9@piefed.social · 2 pts · 341d
At least, never at the same time.
GreenShimada@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 341d
If you try and log in with the user name "Miley" it should give you secret root access.
sepi@piefed.social · 4 pts · 341d
Low key this might be one of the more serious distros. Mad respect from a long beard.
KindaABigDyl@programming.dev · 4 pts · 340d
Yeah I mean it's just a themed Kubuntu, right?
It's a fine beginner distro
pressanykeynow@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 340d
It's KDE 4.2 though.
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 340d
Would you say it's the best of both worlds?
Zachariah@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 341d
I prefer MCL

The ball and pinball decided it, HML is for me
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 340d
Yes but you have to play the theme song while installing.
cypherpunks@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 341d
imo this (.world link) is a better choice
