From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you make your own distro, or do you just mean tweaking some stuff here and there?
Would be very interesting to know what you did!
As for my own story: I'm currently reading into how I can make my own image from universal-blue.org.
I'm planning to take a look into TWMs and am not that happy with current setups and want to make it better (for me at least).
Doing that traditionally would be impossible for one person, but on the self-maintaining immutable system? No problem!
Their startingpoint repository makes it really easy. You fork it and just have to edit a .yml file to customize your packages. GitHub actions will automatically build it daily and rpm-ostree upgrade works like normal.
You could also look at something like the bazzite repository if you want to do things manually. It’s basically a Containerfile and a bunch of shell scripts that run inside the container before it’s committed. Then you have the same GitHub actions for automatic builds of your image.
Yeah, the ease of use really looks promising, otherwise I never would have thought about that.
I have zero coding experience, but it seems to be doable even for a noob like me!
