funfact it is actually using a full linux kernel and atleast a few years back on you could run a full chroot shell of kali or on some devices you could even dualboot via kexec. I did the dualboot thing on my nook color back in the day.

With KDE you could remake anything style wise (for the most part). Oh it is based on Kubuntu so this is literally themed with KDE :)

[@efficiencygaming3494]

This episode is the greatest thing I've seen all day! This was just too funny. I was never into Hannah Montana myself but I knew a girl in the mid-2000s who was all about it and she would've loved this. Did they ever make a SpongeBob Linux distro? That would've been my dream come true as a kid.

I thought HM Linux was for testing Wayland but that is apparently Rebecca Black Linux. If nothing else HM Linux demonstrates how customisable Linux is, even 10 years ago. I remember building a custom distro for the college I work at. New splash screen, icons, persistent guest session all from simple scripts.

Man, i miss this series. Watching tech do stuff is fun. This is how i found out about your channel, shortly after you reached 100K, when you were trying to install the developer preview of Mac OS X 10.0 on a Powermac G3. Ever since you stopped doing these, I have been trying to find new KZbinrs who do stuff like this or similar stuff. You always provided the best commentary to shenanigans like this. All I'm asking is please, bring this series back.

[@ComputerClan]

Hi MacBack! I appreciate you watching and writing. Although I don't have immediate plans to do these types of episodes, I still make unscripted/raw episodes in the spirit of Tech Misadventures. I have TONS of them posted to my Patreon or KZbin channel membership (whichever is more convenient for you)! If you want a sample of what that unscripted content is like, here's a playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLFWeyvvxf1riVwwZP20lz4Ey3wssV4roV - enjoy!

Setting: 2010. A brightly-lit home office. A mid-30s Dad sits at his desk, typing into the terminal window of his Ubuntu-based computer. "Hmmm, I wonder how I can get my 11 year old daughter interested in Linux- the best OS of course". Pan up, Dad looks up- faintly playing in the background, coming from the living room "IT'S the Beeeeeest of Both Wooorlds...." "AH HA!!" Dad exclaims joyfully. "I got JUST the thing!".

A few days ago, I experimented with a Windows 10 VM that ran on top of Ubuntu Unity. I made a virtual machine, thinking I wouldn’t switch my host OS, and purchased Windows. That turned out to be a bad idea, as the VM was too large to be sent via a USB flash drive, and I had to delete the VM in order to make room for a full Ubuntu GNOME installation. I haven’t used Windows 11 since April, as it was on my school issued Dell laptop, and after working with it for a while, I haven’t touched it, as I sort of hate its interface.

Excellent video as usual but one question is still unanswered... Why does this version of Linux existed?? Who did lost a bet and had to come up with this version? 😁

[@MrMontanaNights]

Perhaps it was to get young/teen girls interested in Linux and tech in general? Would make the most sense really. A dad was sitting at home wondering, "Now how can I get my 11 year old daughter interested in Linux and technology? I know, I'll make a Hannah Montana distro!".

[@jonlima9897]

All of your web browsing and downloading errors is from your date and time being wrong and not matching up with the servers and giving a security error(due to HTTPS). Don't doubt the ability of Ubuntu to keep files around. They do keep the servers up for even 13 year old OSes.

[@ComputerClan]

Ha. So if I changed the clock back it might've worked?

[@MrMega200]

@@ComputerClan No, not dialing it back to 2009 or whatever, it's a security certificate thing where the website checks your local machine for time and date so that you aren't a threat if I had to summarize it roughly. Having the wrong year, 5 months off, or even the wrong time zone compared to actual time could set it off. I've come across it a lot when Windows 10 machines are activated with a digital license and when time is wrong it ends up deactivating the machine until the date and time is fixed. Had that issue on the last gaming PC I built and left alone for months and it forgot the time(from weak CMOS battery). But especially with Linux it's a part of troubleshooting for when the updates and in general program downloads don't want to work. There is guides on the Ubuntu website to fix the downloads that you can follow but the Date and Time setting is the first one you should try.

[@pvman2]

@@MrMega200 If you are correct, I'd love to see an "update" video where he attemptes to implement your fix and upgrade to 14.04. That would be pretty cool, especially if the Hannah Montana look/feel remained. I may just do this myself. Do you think the data/time fix work fix the SIGSEGV on KDESudo?

Ubuntu 9,04 and 10,04 were surprisingly easy to customise the live image of, so there are probably _thousands_ of semi-forks based on this doing the rounds! I'm still using live images of that era for system maintenance purposes (Hey! It just about fits on a 1GB flash drive! 😇) and having a few creature comforts baked-in is always a nice thing! 💿🍪🐧👍

[@katanah3195]

It's horribly out of date and probably has limited utility... but I'd *love* to know if a Winnie the Pooh one ever popped up anywhere. Because this one was clearly made by some tech nerd mum for her 10/11 year old daughter, so I wonder how many of those thousands were computer nerd parents trying to get their kids interested in Linux, and just how young some of those kids were. (Also, while my 5 year old self would have totally gone for that, so would my 11 year old self, and tbh at 20 I'd still be interested to at least poke around a live image. So Pooh is timeless. Lol.)
