    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.

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 69 points 1 year ago (6 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 36 points 1 year ago

    I love the reviews.

    [–] reev@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

    [–] Setarkus@toast.ooo 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    They missed the opportunity to say "Git reponytory"

    [–] Hubi@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

    As a 3-year user of Hannah Montana Linux, I approve this post.

    Is there a version of this but for real?

    [–] BrownianMotion@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago (4 children)
    [–] mojo@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Why would they suggest Kali as a distro lol

    [–] BrownianMotion@lemmy.world 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.

    [–] BrownianMotion@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    sheesh, I didn't make the meme. Tell your story walking.

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

    [–] CentreForAnts@aussie.zone 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...

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

    [–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] Chiivo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    It's the best of both worlds

    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.

    [–] Norgur@kbin.social 10 points 1 year 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?

    [–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

    Miley Cyrus Linux

    [–] Draegur@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

    And within minutes it was forked to:

    FreeHannahMontanaBSD and OpenHannahMontanaBSD
