I'm curious about the possibility of creating my own OS based on Linux. Is it even feasible to do this? I'd love to hear any tips or suggestions you might have!

Another option is to download the kernel and start your journey from there. It's a bit more technical, but definitely doable if you're ready for it!
You could install Arch Linux first and then write a script to automate your customizations after the base install. It's a neat way to get the personal touch you're aiming for.
Check out Linux From Scratch (LFS)! It's a great starting point if you want to build everything from the ground up.
What are your goals with this OS? If you want a custom experience:
- **Linux From Scratch** is the most hands-on and informative, but it's tough and time-consuming.
- **Gentoo** lets you make a unique version while still having community support and a package manager (Portage).
- **Arch Linux with ArchISO** is more user-friendly; you can set up an Arch ISO with your own configurations.
- If Ubuntu's your thing, try using **Cubic** to create your own distro through a GUI.
Learning with LFS is rewarding, but ArchISO is my favorite—it teaches you a lot while still being manageable!
You're likely to hear LFS mentioned a lot, and for good reason. It's probably the best way to achieve what you're looking for based on your question's context.
