Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago

    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.

    Personally, I recommend AmogOS.

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

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    Why would they suggest Kali as a distro lol

    [–] BrownianMotion 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 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".

    I should try HM linux and Uwuntu

    [–] [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...

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

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

    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?

    "Weird distro, still better than Windows"

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    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.

    [–] ODuffer 8 points 1 year ago

    I use Arch btw

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    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.

    [–] partial_accumen 25 points 1 year ago

    And within minutes it was forked to:

    FreeHannahMontanaBSD and OpenHannahMontanaBSD
