Mods consider the post tongue in cheek humor.

We have to be able to laugh at ourselves, 'else we'll go mad...

There was a Hanna Montana Linux once, there's probably a Justin Beiber Linux and a My Little Pony Linux out there somewhere too...

I didn't think most were funny at all. I bought a book once with Caldera Linux bound into it on a CD. I never could get a satisfactory installation. I still have my Red Hat and Slackware books with CDs but the Caldera book went into the trash heap back in 2012. Heck, I even have DR DOS 6.0 bound into a book and Novel DOS 7.0 in a box still shrink wrapped. The Caldera spot got a laugh out of me.

So how can we make a pictorial laughable theme about ours? I think its good to laugh at ourself but not to others. because there is no MX there. We are only laughing at others. add one mx there then its justified.
I think MX is so complete that its difficult to Make one

I also didn't find them funny at all, nor did I identify with any of the slides/pics. Pretty old list.
Caldera - I only know about the stuff Groklaw reported on long ago.

There's always Puppy. "Woof!" No matter how good it was technically, I never could take it seriously.

lol... Pride goeth before a (kernel panic at boot - 10% of the time in my instance; crash after upgrade on your system only; any other kind of crash; inability to install the version of the software/driver that you need without LOTS of work...).
The only thing that is perfect in this world is the word perfect!
The above said - I'm happy with MX. I'm not looking for assistance with a kernel panic which is "possibly" due to a BIOS bug. The other stuff (& more) is just "Linux - distro" stuff. Happens to all of them. Some DNA is stronger than others... :)

The developers' weird stuff is safely hidden from the world, except for my propensity to have coyotes follow me around. I'm sure coyotes would love Puppy Linux, since they are nice and tender at that age.

Well, back in 2017 we had some laughs playing in this topic titled
LEAKED photo ! (your captions / speculation invited)
http://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=42300 Good fun... but that topic "
petered out" after only 2 pages of posts.

Thank whatever for humour!
If you don't like it go spend time on an "orange-themed" forum.

I didn't really think that the OP humor was all that great either. It still seemed like a reasonable start for a thread for those with time on their hands to play in...
