    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 “Linux”, 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 “Linux” 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.

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

    I love the reviews.

    [–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Own kernel... That's honestly just impressive.

    Why would they suggest Kali as a distro lol

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    I guess this flowchart selects Kali intelligently!

    the "do you fear technology" doesnt make sense. it should be "dont understand technology" or something.

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

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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.

    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.

    Don't forget to Install Doom/Doom on your Hannah Montana Linux

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

    And within minutes it was forked to:

    FreeHannahMontanaBSD and OpenHannahMontanaBSD
