Yeah I mean it's just a themed Kubuntu, right?
It's a fine beginner distro
KDE is a solid choice as it will be familiar to Windows users (afterall, Windows 11's GUI was based on Plasma)
Would you say it's the best of both worlds?
It's KDE 4.2 though.
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.
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)
One could have guessed from the image in the OP. KDE 4.2 is not exactly a recent piece of software anymore.
Damn, Someone should really revive that it's iconic at this point.
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People should consider Justin Bieber Linux, at least it isn't that outdated.
i use nyarch btw
Came here to say that. If you actually plan to daily a meme distro Nyarch is probably your best bet imo!
Lol never seen this before.
It hasn't been updated in years.
No. Let me know if there's anything else.
How about Crunchbang or Linspire?
crunchbangplusplus and bunsenlabs exist as successors-in-spirit to crunchbang!
Very infrequently and no, respectively.
i'm giving mint a try any day now
It's canonical (to me alone) that the HML is the basis for LCARS in the Star Trek universe.
It is now for me too :).
Yes, itβs the best right next to PuppyLinux and LinuxFromScratch
What's wrong with Puppy Linux?
Nothing! Great for live media and daily running. Recommend.
People doing LFS have ascended
I did it once. Never again.
Holy shit
It's probably pretty out of date maybe you should pick something better maintained as a beginner like LFS
If you're not using HML you don't even deserve to breathe.
Nah. JBL is where itβs at
You mean Beabian?
I always wanted to know if Miley ever used this.
I think Hannah used it, but I don't know if Miley did
At least, never at the same time.
If you try and log in with the user name "Miley" it should give you secret root access.
Low key this might be one of the more serious distros. Mad respect from a long beard.
I prefer MCL
