How to create a new Linux Distro (just for learning purpose, not to actually create a new one))
by ossnikhil from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K6Y7)
Hi all,
I have been using Linux for over 15 years but have never been on the development side. I am planning to learn something on that side of things now and planning to create a new distro as part of learning. Nothing much new but basically something based on a existing solid distribution. Like how Ubuntu is based on Debian and EndeavourOS based on Arch. Basically just want to choose few things like based on Arch, using KDE, using calamares installer etc.
I know it might be a long task depending on how much I want to customize, but what I am looking from you all is reference to any article/book/video/person who has done it before. Basically I am requesting you to point me in the right direction.
I know that some distro providers also give option to customize their OS like Suse studio and I think Ubuntu also has something like that, but I am not looking for that. I am looking a bit more than that.
Thank you in advance for reading my post and any help if you can provide.
Thanks
