But the OG Hannah Montana Linux has not been updated since 2009, leaving it unable to access most of the modern internet\u2060. <\/p>\n<p>Which is good, because a lack of security updates means it would probably be super vulnerable to threats if it could. Little is known about the 21st Century Prometheus who gave us this gift, nor why they ultimately decided to turn their back on us.<\/p>\n<p>Cagle built this updated OS on the Debian distribution of Linux and the KDE Plasma desktop. For context for my fellow knuckle draggers who exclusively interact with this stuff via Steam Deck, Steam OS is built on the Arch Linux distribution, but uses that same Plasma desktop. The key differentiation for Cagle&#8217;s project is that, out of the box, it boasts a striking pink and purple color scheme, custom Hannah Montana icons, and a remastered 1080p version of the original HML&#8217;s 4:3 wallpaper.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-XYdAvO\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/XYdAvO.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>But can it game?<\/em> As a skin of Debian Linux, we just have to look to how the parent distribution handles things, which is to say &#8220;pretty well.&#8221; Bazzite and SteamOS seem to be preferred for gaming largely on the basis off their user friendliness, while Valve&#8217;s black magic Proton compatibility layer is designed to work across Linux distros.
