Currently what’s the best way to create your “spin” or remix of a Linux distribution? It doesn’t matter which distribution it uses as a base. I just want to be able to 1.add and remove packages 2.be able to change deault settings easily.

    the best way i find is do a minimal install then if you are using deb bases system you just create a package.txt file with a list of all the packages you want to install then you just run sudo apt install < package.txt

    Then create a config directory tree for all the home directory configs in the correct paths then you can gnu stow to create links to the correct path in the home directory.

    Then you can commit it to a git Repo or copy it to a file share. so that on your next system install you just do a git clone to your stow directory then run stow to create the links. note you can also manage your package.txt in git as well.
