Hello! i hope everybody is fine and ok in their homes, so recentley i made a linux distribution, i dont see any feedback from people, this is not an advertisment as my distribution really needs testers, because i dont want sad people and i myself cant test it (low hardware reasons), anyway heres the link https://notabug.org/qernel, ill be so happy if you test, thank you
this is not a distro, this is nothing more but a few scripts, based on ubuntu.
it is, it will make an iso and has a special installer in it, mkqn, its a script that installs to specified mount point, this distro is MUCH harder that arch, because of debians things
MIGHT Not but i would like to hear peoples results after booting from a usb, there is a very very small chance it will corrupt the fs
Hi,
You only change few things in os-release & lsb-release
source.list does not seem to have been modified
and your python script is just a bash script in python (import os)
For my POV, changing NAME or PRETTY_NAME doesn't make a new distro
From what I've seen, there is absolutely no chance of breaking anything
So, the question is :
What is the purpose of this?
Distribution: Mainly Devuan, antiX, & Void, with Tiny Core, Fatdog, & BSD thrown in.

Rep:
A genuine distro is created from source code.
Most of what are called distros, are just easily installable choices of software on top of a genuine distro, (which are RedHat, SuSe, Debian/Devuan, Slackware, etc).

Wow. This is all there is to it:
This one's called build.sh, though afaics it doesn't compile anything, just installs a vanilla Ubuntu kernel & base system:

ok here is one advantage from ubuntu, you can choose a kernel, init system, etc... because you can add repos, just select the kernel from repos.
Why wouldn't yoube able to add repos on vanilla Ubuntu?
Also good luck getting anything but systemd-based to work on Ubuntu. Installing an init system is not the same as making it work with your complete setup.
No, this is just some sort of Ubuntu chroot install with the word "Ubuntu" crossed out and "qernel" written over it in crayon.
