WiFi and webcam don’t work out of the box, but it’s an old MacBook so I wasn’t expecting much. The color scheme is surprisingly well done.

so… kde with a pink scheme?
EDIT: Yeah. source even says it’s Debian+ KDE + Pink
EDIT2 : @DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works , the webcam stuff is on you, it’s basically debian. use debian solutions for your particular macbook/webcam and it should work.
Or just get Asahi linux and slap a pink KDE theme/the theme/branding for HM linux on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi_Linux
EDIT3 : Just install this and call it a day : https://store.kde.org/p/2362661

To be honest, I’m just running HML as a live image from a USB drive. This computer normally runs Arch. I got the webcam working when I first installed Arch, but it broke at some point and I haven’t had the energy to fix it. The AUR has the proprietary firmware, and drivers are part of the kernel, so I’m not sure what the issue is.

Yeah unfortunately the new one doesn’t skip their neck out. I’d like way more pink

When I set up Linux on my wife’s MacBook it took two hours to find all the instructions on how to do it AND the files needed to do it. Had to use 4 different instruction sets because all 4 left out some steps.
So yeah, MacBook webcam functionality is on the installer/user, but it’s not always easy to figure out how to do it if you’ve never done it before.

Ngl, I would rock that on a backup device.
But a PowerpuffOS? Now that is a daily driver steeped in chemical X

Is this really not a Linux distro?
Over a decade later and people still don’t believe us! PonyOS is not a Linux distribution - it’s also not a BSD, or a Hurd, or a Minix, or a Solaris!
Not mentioned :
Copyright 2013-2026 K Lange PonyOS is based on ToaruOS, which is free software released under the terms of the NCSA/University of Illinois license.
IDK. If one wants to try the Os without ponying it up, they can try this

I’m sure you do. At least the Internet isn’t saturated with pony fanboys. Not in the places where I notice them.

Well, I thought the thing on Commodore OS I saw just today was pretty cool. So I guess I can’t pan this too much.

It was awesome, so awesome that I later upgraded to the Amiga when that came out. Amiga OS CLI was similar to Unix. So I had Linux before Linux, with a multitasking OS, stereo sound, and 4096 color game console.
I actually lived near the Commodore United States headquarters and I did a brief internship in high school there.

for wifi you need to broadcom firmware, the camera also needs firmware but they gotta be extracted from an osx installation iirc
