iirc, it originally had kde3.5, then moved to 4 in 2009 and broke, and stayed dormant for about 17 years until revived.

The most fun thing about the joke, is that it' actually a really solid distro. Just with a Hannah Montana theme. Shows what's possible with GNU+Linux and the 4 freedoms of Free Software, as defined by Richard Stallman, the GNU project, and the Free Software Foundation, around 1983-85.

The revival of Hannah Montana Linux, and the superb little respin walkthrough video that accompanies it, got me having a little poke at making my own respin of devuan (~ started too late in the night, left a hasty sleepy mess half way through).

KDE3.5 was peak KDE. Long since revived in a fork called Trinity. ... I need to rewatch that video to remind me... he's using trinity, right? :D

I'd rather talk about Hanna Montana Linux. (It's back, btw)

Probably aware of half a dozen other operating systems to try, if something catches fire in the thousand distributions of linux.

When/how would the only way out be windows?

This sounds like a level of implausibility/dystopia it'd anger pingu to shout "SHBHLBRHBR AWOOO! AWOOO!"

That scared me for a while, making me think it wasn't safe unless that was there. XD Insidious implicit lie. Lots of other times are safe too.

Upgrading Gentoos that had not been upgraded for a really long while used to be one of my favourite things to do.

I don't know what this "succeeds" is.

2014, when I last tried [debian] hurd, it was working fine.

Working operating system kernel. Sounds like success to me.

Get it on metal. :)

i hate deadlines.

okay, just get it done when you can.

thanks, i turn brittle and burned out with too much structure. *never gets thing done*

Not breaking things.

Wait... Is this real socialists, and not "socialists" in the over-sensitive redscare sense, nor the orwellian "national" kind? :O Not just placatium either?

If so...

Oh cool!

I'll keep my scrutinousness intact though. We've been burned before. Orwellian language still at play.

It works well enough for now. Some things were surprisingly simpler than I expected them to be (e.g. gaming thanks to Heroic Launcher and Steam).

I was thinking more with regards to the multiple recent AUR malware attacks. I hope you're staying safe, staying on top of the situation, not letting Arch bite you.

Note for the Linux-curious potentially reading this: I had sufficient experience with Linux Mint and Ubuntu as well as test runs of Arch before committing to it. DO NOT SWITCH DIRECTLY TO ARCH LINUX FROM WINDOWS. Try Mint first (or Bazzite, I hear that one is great for gaming but have yet to try it myself), and preferably using VirtualBox before committing to a switch.

Note for the linux-curious potentially reading this: You're Linux curious, that means you have what it takes to try any distribution of Linux. Curiosity. YOU CAN SWITCH DIRECTLY TO ARCH LINUX FROM WINDOWS. It's rare, but it does happen. Some now famous linux youtubers did just that. It will take a bit more reading to be able to get up and running, but you'll be running all the more fast and sure-footed from the education the experience gave you.

;)

Oh heck, Arch isn't even that hard and involved to install any more. Go for Gentoo. :) Come, windows refugees, all! Skip the Ubuntus, Mints, Suses, Fedoras, PopOSes, AntiXes, Zorins, elementaryOSes, LinuxLites, PCLinuxOSes, Soluses and whatever windows refugees flock to these days, and shoot for the moon! Heck, even try LFS! (Okay, don't. I've gone too far now. LOL).

Which bush are we talking about here?

Kate?

George?

Och. This post could have been so much more.

Yup. It's just people. And we can still mend this.

Don't fall for the "it's an all powerful force beyond your reach" misdirection.

The emperor wears no clothes. We see the man behind the curtain.

[PS, "conspiracy theories"'s a term the crooks have used to dissuade scrutiny of them.]

How to make my changes permanent on my USB stick ?

My suggestion,

• get a second fast usb stick (maybe wise to go bigger),

and

• do a regular install [from your current live MX usb stick[1]] to that new usb stick.

Then it's like an install as if to the hard drive, (letting you keep changes between reboots etc) just the same, except it's on your new usb stick. :)

[1: I presume that MX fluxbox live system has an installer icon to click on for an easy install.]

(And there's obarun, joborun, nemesis, shebang... er, and others out in the wild too that I forget... )

(I use an Artix stratum btw.)

How's that working out for you? :)

Was going to look upon this with a hard critical eye... but found myself softening into nostalgia, thinking about where I started... On suse, just before suse offered gnome as equal player; just before xfce4 became a thing... and I remember the XFCE devs did not like me reporting bloat as a bug, even though it had gone from snappy fast to a clunky crawl. n_n

And IRIX there too... I was on IRIX before GNU+Linux. Long time ago. Still very fondly remembered, wishing for an IRIX revival, more than just Nekoware and Mogrix and pirix. But, it's HP that are sat on the IRIX IP, right? Good luck.

Anyway, distractions aside... cool chart, though, my faves are not there, by the criteria they've used to choose which to show. It's a mite odd... Not just DEs, not just distros, but an odd filter of distros by DE importance... I suppose it's laudable to attempt depict.

Well done for using peertube, and sharing peertube links.

Very fitting host to walk the content's talk. (I presume, yet to watch).
