Is it worth making my own Linux distribution, or just going through the suffering of making my own?

I havent written in a while soooo...
I am getting really close to being able to finally make a demo video I have learned a lot of stuff as of right now
Im now just trying to make it more usable, as:
it boots
mouse works
cmd app works

so now im just trying to get it more functional
Probably will post with video in like 1 or 2 days idk :>

 

[Aswd]

first progress :>
Video is in the zip file because of extension limits on the site
im quite proud of this and i think i can call it a proper v0.1
might post back in like a month or so? idk i just dont want to post about a single line change and instead post multipule changes some time
But if i dont then know im probably too deep into making this better than it is :>

edit: i put it on yt:

If it's a video, why not post it on Youtube and share the link to the video here? Opening a file from a zip file from a stranger is not something many people will do now days?

I don't think you should suffer your own distro. There are plenty you can choose.

Offtopic: those time and date on your windows desktop looks good, is that rainmetter?

Told him - my #2 post in this thread. But hey, everyone wants to feel important and have their 5 minutes to shine

Take a fresh copy of your favorite distro, exchange a few apps for others (Librewolf instead of Firefox, for example; or Evolution instead of Thunderbird), change the name and wallpapers and bingo! Padawan Linux, Best Distro in the History of Ever!

It happens all the time. Padawan Linux won't make me rich or famous, and I can't afford a domain name, web site, forums, and all that, but hey - I officially became a "Linux Developer," right? Now people will respect me!

There may be some good reasons for making yet a whole 'nother Linux distro, like filling a niche that is aimed at a particular use, such as media-editing, forensics, bible study, aviation, something like that. But if you check, I bet you'll find there are already a lot of those niche distros as well. Better to support an existing one.

People tend to do a better job at something they don't need to take credit for.

I'm thinking about the thread tile:

Is it worth making my own Linux distribution, or just going through the suffering of making my own?

A: making my own Linux distribution
OR
B: going through the suffering of making my own
= Make your own no matter which option you choose

A || B == B || A

Enjoy making your distro, there's nothing bad, in fact it's very good to learn some things about how OS's work.
However it won't be legitimately yours as you said in your OP, every piece of code you borrow is licensed.

That is the whole point of this.
Do i think i could theoretically contribiute to something that exists? Yes, probably.
Will i learn more trying to make a lot of my own? Also yes in my opinion

I don't necessarily agree, if you don't believe me take a look of overview about what kind of tools debian maintainers use and you'll understand, there are plenty of tools designed for packagers and package maintainers.
On top of these tools there is documentation to help get started.
Third but not last you also need to learn how to build software.

All of this you would learn by joining the team, but on your own you'll be making you own system/workflow that is not necessarily the best.
