Creating new distro. How new distros teams arise?
by PixiDixi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5673S)
I have a lot of ideas and conceptions how desktop environment and operating system should look and work.
It's required to create new DE. And I think about new Linux distro or a system based on FreeBSD.
The new DE will not be huge and expanded project like Gnome or Kde.
I think about simple DE like LXDE or IceWM with taskbar. All written in QT, but with nice look & fell like Panteon from eOS or Deepin DE.
The new Linux distro or system BSD based, should be fully made for extra total novice home user.
So it will not be 99999 distro with icons, theme and wallpaper changed only.
Now I have an important questions.
How Linux distro teams has arised? Linux Mint, ElementaryOS, Antergos etc. and smaller projects?
From where they got money for devolopment and salary for programmers? CEO and devs are often very young people under 30.
