This is just called Linux
basically nyarch.
I do not endorse nyarch. I don't particularly ~~condone~~ condemn it, but I did not have a good experience with stability. Unsure if it was the shitty pc, the OS , arch being arch or the user.
You have to wear your cats or the system will act up
Ok but unironically I would seriously consider that distro as my daily
We call it CachyOS
What's with everyone's obsession with this mascot? Everyone had it as their goal explosion in Rocket League during a period. I got so sick of it.
I mean, she’s not just a mascot, there’s a whole media franchise behind Hatsune Miku: video games, music, tv shows. Plus it mimics the whole idol culture that’s so popular in Asia. I find it hardly surprising that any franchise with that much content is popular.
Is it popular because they saturated the market with content or vice versa?
Probably both, popularity is often both a factor of “actually good” and “well-marketed”.
Well, I just don't respond well to the weeb culture I guess. And I'm not really a macho type guy either. I love Scrubs for example, so stoked to be watching the new series right now.
But idolizing these hyper-cutsie pixels, I will just never relate to it. I will never relate to idolizing anyone or anything, I think.
I think you’re thinking about it too hard! You don’t need to feel pressured to like things that other people like.
It's not about that, I don't feel any pressure whatsoever. 🙂 I feel very confident in not getting trapped into idolization.
But I'm also curious what the actual point is in wrapping one's life up into someone else's or something else. To be so void of own purpose or self worth to the point of worshipping someone else like a god. Even something that isn't even real.
Not saying that all fans of these types of characters are like this, of course, but some are.
She has also been around for a long time at this point, building more fans all the while. Debuted in 2007.
It is silly, unnecessary, and probably not something most people will use every day.
Well now I'm going to unironically use it as my daily driver.
one day, Hannah Montana Linux will become the most popular Linux distro on the Steam Hardware Survey
I mean honestly there's not any reason you couldn't. Other than I'm not sure how well it will be maintained.
Of course, no one should mistake Hannah Montana Linux v26.0 for a mainstream Linux distro meant for production use
i find this a little insulting
I mean, at the end of the day, it's still Debian, only with a themed KDE Plasma (or LXQt) desktop.
Which means really as long as the author maintains the themes it should be able to be daily-driven
You mean it shouldn't be run on nuclear launch computers?
Probably still better than whatever is running the nuclear launch computers.
Where's that famous flow chart?
Do you fear God? No
With Hannah Montana Linux, God fears you
This would be better as a stand-alone theme imo
Of course it would, but then it wouldn't be a useful illustrative example when teaching noobs what a distro is.
You can run this on the Steam Deck
The Steam Deck really is the best of both worlds
Haha, that's delightfully nostalgic
Bah, what I really need to know is: What are the difference between this and Miley Cryus Linux?
^someone^ ^had^ ^to^ ^say^ ^it^ /s
I will say that I've never seen them both on the same drive
The Miley Cryus Linux has more nudity and tatoos. Blus it takes a Wreaking Ball to your SSD.........
