  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Hannah Montana/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Hannah Montana plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Hannah Montana system made useful by the Hannah Montana splashscreen, jailbait wallpaper and vital Disney branding comprising a full OS as defined by 2000's teenagers. Many computer users run a modified version of the Hannah Montana system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Hannah Montana which is widely used today is often called β€œLinux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Hannah Montana system, developed by Miley Cyrus. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a pink operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Hannah Montana operating system: the whole system is basically Hannah Montana with Linux added, or Hannah Montana/Linux. All the so-called β€œLinux” distributions are really distributions of Hannah Montana/Linux.

    Wait, I feel like I missed something important. Hannah Montana Linux?

    Edit: It's real. It's really real.

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 66 points 2 years ago (4 children)

    There's also PonyOS (https://www.ponyos.org/) They wrote their own kernel, so it's not Linux, but it is Unix-like.

    [–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago

    I love the reviews.

    [–] Setarkus@toast.ooo 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    [–] mojo@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Why would they suggest Kali as a distro lol

    [–] BrownianMotion@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (4 children)

    I guess this flowchart selects Kali intelligently!

    It would be great if there was an icon of a BSD-distribution under the category "Do have a life?" - "No".

    They say if you install Hannah Montana Linux and Windows 11 as a dual boot. You get the best of both worlds...

    Our company has shifted from Redhat to Hanna Montana boxes and it really jazzed our network up.

    [–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    There's a Hannah Montana Linux? Don't tease me, now.

    [–] Norgur@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Okay, I'm really unsure here. What if I fear tech, my daddy is poor and I don't have a life?

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    "Weird distro, still better than Windows"

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    [–] Draegur@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    wow you're right, this has completely discouraged me from ever trying linux.

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Me too, I'll stick with good old HannahMontanaBSD.

    [–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

    And within minutes it was forked to:

    FreeHannahMontanaBSD and OpenHannahMontanaBSD
