There are a ton of Debian system build tools out there and people keep making new ones: https://wiki.debian.org/SystemBuildTools

There's nothing wrong with making new tools. I love making my own tools, both physical tools and software tools. The feeling you get from it is great! Plus, this is often how new things (or ways to do things) are discovered.

I think I'd rather have one featureful well-maintained tool backed by a community of people than a hundred of them with different features and single maintainers for each one.

I recently had the opportunity to use Linux-Factory, and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed with this operating system. It's clear that the Author behind Linux-Factory have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a streamlined and user-friendly experience that makes it easy to get things done.

One of the standout features of Linux-Factory is its speed and performance. This operating system is lightning-fast, and it runs smoothly even on older hardware. Additionally, the user interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and customize to suit your preferences.

Another great thing about Linux-Factory is its versatility. Whether you're a developer, a gamer, or just someone who wants a reliable operating system for everyday use, Linux-Factory has something to offer. The software package selection is robust and well-curated, with all the tools and applications you need to get work done or enjoy your leisure time.

Overall, I highly recommend Linux-Factory to anyone who is looking for a fast, reliable, and versatile operating system. The Author have done an excellent job creating an operating system that surpasses expectations, and I look forward to seeing what they have in store for future updates. Thank you for creating such an amazing product......!

Linux-factory is a powerful and innovative open-source project that is making it easier than ever before for developers and Linux enthusiasts to create custom Debian-based operating systems. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a newcomer to the Linux world, Linux-factory is definitely worth checking out!Great work @clayrisser sir...!! Hope you will reach many more milestones in future sir..!!

No offense, but this from a new account makes it look suspicious.

Hey groestel..! Iam not promoting any product or service, but rather expressing appreciation for an open-source project.I genuinely believes in the value of the project and wants to show my support. And if you want to support you can..!! No offense, Thank you...!!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Like offering users a GUI click-through installer? I can't say if it's a joke or if you are serious. But if you like an installer, there's manjaro. Personally, I think install shouldn't need a click-through installer: it should be done by a commandline, to have a finer control over all the details. With Ubuntu, I only used the installer iso to type Control-Shift-A to get a terminal, install rsync and do my tinkerin…

I was obviously being sarcastic, but the sarcasm was earnest. For the most part, there shouldn't be any details to control. Just pick defaults that work for 99% users and let them get on with their life.

>But if you like an installer, there's manjaro.

Manjaro is not Arch. My comment was a criticism of Arch Linux, not Manjaro.

Why are these things always for Debian based distros, but never for Fedora ones?

Oh, hey!!! Did you know that RHEL, CentOS Stream, & Fedora has been providing an image builder for a couple of years? All of these links below demonstrate functionality that you can do with CentOS Stream & Fedora, and even with the no-cost developer subscription for RHEL which unlocks 16 RHEL subs with tons of extra functionality. Many links below to help you easily learn to use it. We are actually using this tooling internally to beging building all of the image artifacts for all three of these linux distros. Eating our own dogfood; this is the future.

Also, below are links and some screenshots of the wicked cool new customizations that just landed in CentOS Stream and should come to RHEL 9.2 and Fedora soon.

- Install in your local Fedora/CentOS Stream box

dnf install -y osbuild-composer composer-cli cockpit-composer bash-completion systemctl enable --now osbuild-composer.socket systemctl enable --now cockpit.socketfirewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit && firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent source /etc/bash_completion.d/composer-cli

- RHEL Image Builder | Into the Terminal 53 youtube podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-mv_WLmQdA - Blog: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/using-no-cost-developer-subsc... - Blog: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/announcing-full-support-new-r... - Upstream docs https://www.osbuild.org/guides/blueprint-reference/blueprint... - RHEL 9 docs https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

Please give us feedback, feature requests, tell us how you're using it, pull requests at our upstream project https://github.com/osbuild Happy building!

I use image builder exclusively for my home lab and work-based demos. Its an amazing project!

Alternatives that support more than just Debian: https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot https://github.com/skiffos/SkiffOS (Based on buildroot) https://www.yoctoproject.org/

these are for embedded boards though

SkiffOS also supports desktop PCs (with the intel/desktop layer) + EFI with rEFInd / GRUB. Also supports the Steam Deck.
