From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Making a custom live iso, then flashing it with persistent storage (lemmy.world)

Recently, I've been wanting to make a custom live iso with a couple of tools that I need but I really don't know where to start or what to do... any help?

E: I didn't phrase my post correctly, I need a portable set of desktop tools for development, running on the gnome desktop

Hands down, one of the best tools I've used in a very long time:

Download a Debian 12 standard live ISO (or with GNOME or any other iso) and you're good to go. I've compiled custom kernels with it too. If you want persistence, then you use mkusb.

Yes, this does work, however there doesn't seem to be a way to strip out the installer (since I won't be installing from that ISO) or change desktop settings from a graphical environment... any way to do that?

Use the live version (thd try without installing option). You can also remove the installer code if you really want to - I think Ubuntu uses ubiquity/subiquity.
