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.

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.

People should consider Justin Bieber Linux, at least it isn't that outdated.

Came here to say that. If you actually plan to daily a meme distro Nyarch is probably your best bet imo!

Yes, it’s the best right next to PuppyLinux and LinuxFromScratch

Nothing! Great for live media and daily running. Recommend.

It's probably pretty out of date maybe you should pick something better maintained as a beginner like LFS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.

I think Hannah used it, but I don't know if Miley did

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.

Yeah I mean it's just a themed Kubuntu, right?

  • Ubuntu is pretty stable, but the latest is pretty up-to-date atm. It's also well supported and well understood by the wider linux community
  • KDE is a solid choice as it will be familiar to Windows users (afterall, Windows 11's GUI was based on Plasma)
  • The novelty of using a Hannah Montana themed linux distro is fun

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?
