- Based on Debian
- Based on Lain(?) or Touhou(?) or even original content we could ask on the drawthreads(?)
- Custom bootscreen
- Custom Login Manager
- Custom Desktop Environment
- Custom File Manager (based on pcmanfm(?))
- Custom browser theme (based on chromium)
- Preinstalled /jp/ shit (what exactly?)

We have tried to make our own OS many times, but failed due to the difficulty and time it would consume.
How about a lighter approach?
Anyone interested? I believe that, with ~5 people we can manage this in 1 month, roughly.

It's basically taking Debian (netinst) and modifying its visuals, so it doesn't look like Debian at all. MUCH simpler than creating an OS from scratch

We already have Cherimoya "GNU/"Linux which comes pre-installed with Wine and Touhou:

That's what all previous OS attempts were. Hell, Arch Linux has some BUILD UR OWN LEET DISTRO ^_^ program, and even then CirnOS and Cirn9 failed.

You might as well do something new. If you want to make a GTK+ theme or wallpaper, make a damn GTK+ theme or wallpaper.

Here's a sensible (but inactive) project:

What's the point?
Why are people making so many Linux distros? It's not that hard to just install everything that you want by yourself.

You're not "cooler" by ripping off some other distro or prepackaging some applications in some way and calling it "your OS".
When you've written an OS from scratch, that will be "your OS", otherwise you're just prepackaging some stuff that can be installed manually.

>>8820503
All modern operating systems carry cruft. Even the traditional UNIX-y ones like OpenBSD.
You'll just have to learn to deal with the fact that some parts of your hard drive are magnetized when they don't need to be. And if that bothers you, there is probably dust in your room, the door might not be locked, and you are now aware that you're breathing.

>> No.8820520

>>8820512
This, I'd understand if it's something new, and people are doing cool things. But Debian With A Theme or Arch Linux With Pre-installed Applications = a waste of time for everyone involved.

Get a read OS, like LoseThos:

The real question is why, in 2012, is anyone still building an OS on the Linux kernel? Unless you have to support bullshit-"enterprise" hardware there's no point. OpenBSD is more secure (fact), less bloated (fact), and faster (fact).

Does the NSA use Linux? No, they use OpenBSD.

How many remote holes has Linux had in the last decade? 3000? OpenBSD had 2.

SBCL and Racket are great on OpenBSD. I don't know what you people are waiting for.

I'm kind of sad one of the CirnOS attempts died, as it actually had some genuinely good ideas. OpenSUSE-based, I think it was.

Also, it's confusing going to /jp/ from /g/ and encountering this thread. "Didn't I just leave /g/?"
