without openness, there's no way I'll trust some arbitrary iso on GitHub - 'tis a good way to have a bad time
I was mostly interested in how it's built, what the base is (debian/ubuntu? arch? gentoo? rpm-based?), but I won't be firing up a vm to "figure it out" - too much on the go.
But kudos on making something you find useful - that's how all good programmers start.
You're absolutely right: transparency is key, especially when it comes to operating systems. I'm currently working on documenting the build process and will be releasing:
The full package list
The kernel configuration
The ISO build scripts
I’ll also include notes on how the system is assembled from scratch, since Mylinux isn’t based on Debian, Arch, or any other distro—it’s a ground-up build. I want to make it easy for anyone to inspect, replicate, or modify it.
Appreciate your patience and encouragement. This kind of input helps me improve and stay focused on what matters most: trust and usability.
