Someone tried it this year: https://www.xda-developers.com/i-tried-hannah-montana-linux-in-2025/
TL;DR complete failure. It hasn’t been updated in 10 years.
Thanks for the link, I was gonna try it lol
If using era-appropriate hardware, I wonder if you could use archived Kubuntu repos to upgrade one at a time until it’s a modern Linux kernel.
Damn, Someone should really revive that it’s iconic at this point.
Yes, it’s the best right next to PuppyLinux and LinuxFromScratch
People doing LFS have ascended
I did it once. Never again.
Holy shit
It’s probably pretty out of date maybe you should pick something better maintained as a beginner like LFS
It hasn’t been updated in years.
The ball and pinball decided it, HML is for me
Yeah I mean it’s just a themed Kubuntu, right?
- Ubuntu is pretty stable, but the latest is pretty up-to-date atm. It’s also well supported and well understood by the wider linux community
- KDE is a solid choice as it will be familiar to Windows users (afterall, Windows 11’s GUI was based on Plasma)
- The novelty of using a Hannah Montana themed linux distro is fun
It’s a fine beginner distro
KDE is a solid choice as it will be familiar to Windows users (afterall, Windows 11’s GUI was based on Plasma)
Would you say it’s the best of both worlds?
It’s KDE 4.2 though.
I prefer MCL
imo this (.world link) is a better choice
Yes but you have to play the theme song while installing.
