his is what the Linux Mint Dev Team needs to listen to. Someone with Common Sense. That's if they really care about the User Base. Why? Because most of the User Base works, has a family, and has and actual Life that prohibits us from becoming Programmers and Coders. We simply don't have the time. It's a shame that Dev Teams from Apps like Guilded actually listen to their User Base but Linux Mint doesn't. There's absolutely no Point of Entry to contact the Dev Team on any Linux Distro. That's a solid Fact. Linux needs to have a Zoom-like App to where Dev Team Members can actually see you Desktop LIVE to which your grant temporary access to so they help fix an issue.

pardus Pardus PARDUS LINUX
no really, whatever happened to pardus? it once was it's own distro, with a Gentoo base and it's own package manager, PiSi. then they switched Gentoo with Debian and removed PiSi in favor of Apt-get and dpkg. (PiSi now survives only as eopkg. wonder what's going on there :). Now what once had it's own identity, now became a generic Debian fork. It just hurts to see that. (arch was the opposite, a CRUX fork that became it's own distro and gained a following)

I took the plunge and made my own distro once. Well, it's a Fedora remix..I like their base system and I just customized it. I liked how they separated proprietary stuff into its own repo and kept things up-to-date. There's plenty of systemd haters out there but honestly I've never really had any issues with it. I think 2 people have ever downloaded it, even I don't use it, but it was a fun exercise! The main installer (Anaconda) and the ISO creation stuff is Python based.

I see no reason for me to ever make my own Linux distro. Honestly. It-d just be fish, xfce, and aura.
I may or may not have a document on my laptop describing how I would make an operating system that may or may not basically be a fork of Redox with capabilities, a Nix+Aura-like package manager, a lightweight and responsive (as in -can work on phones-) GUI shell, and a fish-like CLI shell with a built in plugin manager-

Bash and sh is just too ingrained in my fingers, I can't use fish cause my 'one-liners' do not work there and I can't be bothered to learn scripting in fish. Then again, I'm a sysadmin, bash and sh are everywhere and I can rely on that. ZSH on the other hand, is compliant enough to be my default shell. Yes, it's not the fastest, and yes it does break on a rare occasion. It has some nice features though.

Yeah, Fish isn't ever going to be the default because it won't run the scripts people have been creating for years. It has great features, but without being able to be backward compatible with all those scripts, it will remain niche. Now, what we need is a shell that is compliant that has all of Fish's features without being slow like zsh is when you add those features. Then we can move on from bash.

It's funny to hear you go from disliking Emacs because it's so bloated to wanting bloated Emacs on your custom distro. I guess usefulness beats idealism. And tbh I think the minimalist idealism we have been seeing a lot of in the Linux community is probably a form of compulsion and I almost feel bad for the people who can't enjoy great software because it has too many lines of code.

bash is for backward compatibility &, actually, no one prevents to use alt shells.
appimage for everything is very bad idea, bcos it hogs memory hella lot. linux desktop, in fact, has been the champion of most hogging never-ending alphas & betas thanks to dramatic fragmentation w/ frameworks, programming langs, libs. strictly speaking, linux has no had industrial gui.

What's the big deal with fish? If you like it, install it. You don't need the perfect distro. Get a basic distro like Debian Buster and put the stuff you want on it. I don't like Gnome so I installed Lxde so I installed it. If it comes with Firefox and you prefer another, then remove FF or leave it and install the one you do like. Pretty simple.

Have you ever worked through Linux from Scratch? If you're happy with the Linux kernel itself and you mostly want to make decisions about the default shell, package system, desktop environment, etc., making DTOS a reality is feasible.
The main issue I can see with creating a new distro is maintaining package versions for security updates.
