I prefer the approach of AntiX and MX Linux. Start from a clean live distro, mod it to your taste, master it to a new Live ISO. You can also start from a normal MX/antiX system and make a live ISO backup. You can also install those ISOs. Systemd is optional on MX and disabled by default. LOTS of live and remaster options on those systems. I find myself more on live than on installed systems now. It's basically like working with FS snapshots.<p>A similar distro with remaster tools based on Devuan is Refracta.<p>There used to be the Debian Live project but it looks obsolete. EDIT: sorry I misread the bug reports, it is OK <a href="https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/index.en.html" rel="nofollow">https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-man...</a>
This project is a product of 4 years of work, mostly learning the Debian ecosystem. I started with Ubuntu, I’ve tried Arch, I’ve tried Gentoo, but nothing beats the ease of Debian when it comes to custom distributions. Debian was almost built to fork. Their ecosystem is amazing. Their live build tool is super.<p>I built Linux Factory so everyone else can build custom Debian distributions easily without having to know the live-build tool. It’s really easy to configure and get started. Please give me feedback on how I can make it better.
This sounds like something I'd be very interested in, though I'm not sure what it is.<p>It'd be great if I could easily customize Debian (i3, vim, zsh, chrome, etc.) and distribute / share it with others.<p>But I'm not sure what this does and cannot tell even after reading the first few sections of the README.
There are a ton of Debian system build tools out there and people keep making new ones:<p><a href="https://wiki.debian.org/SystemBuildTools" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.debian.org/SystemBuildTools</a>
I recently had the opportunity to use Linux-Factory, and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed with this operating system. It's clear that the Author behind Linux-Factory have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a streamlined and user-friendly experience that makes it easy to get things done.<p>One of the standout features of Linux-Factory is its speed and performance. This operating system is lightning-fast, and it runs smoothly even on older hardware. Additionally, the user interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and customize to suit your preferences.<p>Another great thing about Linux-Factory is its versatility. Whether you're a developer, a gamer, or just someone who wants a reliable operating system for everyday use, Linux-Factory has something to offer. The software package selection is robust and well-curated, with all the tools and applications you need to get work done or enjoy your leisure time.<p>Overall, I highly recommend Linux-Factory to anyone who is looking for a fast, reliable, and versatile operating system. The Author have done an excellent job creating an operating system that surpasses expectations, and I look forward to seeing what they have in store for future updates. Thank you for creating such an amazing product......!

Linux Factory sounds like a fantastic tool that could benefit a lot of people who want to build their own custom Debian-based distributions. It's awesome that you've made it accessible even for those who aren't familiar with the live-build tool.<p>In terms of feedback, it might be helpful to include some tutorials or guides for those who are completely new to the process of building custom distributions. Additionally, having a user community where people can share their experiences and ask questions could be really valuable.
Linux-factory is a powerful and innovative open-source project that is making it easier than ever before for developers and Linux enthusiasts to create custom Debian-based operating systems. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a newcomer to the Linux world, Linux-factory is definitely worth checking out!Great work @clayrisser sir...!! Hope you will reach many more milestones in future sir..!!
Debian and Ubuntu are nice, but not exactly bleeding edge.<p>IMHO arch is far better, and comes with an extra bonus: you can use pacman just like on MSYS2 (Windows)
