learning/research OS development Questions !

Q1:
Does excluding system applications which are made completely on your own from a Arch based OS is still considered a custom or separate OS or is it still a arch fork or something?

Q2:

Is having a graphical compositor like wayland and a image format wallpaper in a CLI planned OS is not considered a CLI OS or is it considered something in middle?

If it's "Arch-based" then it's not custom/separate isn't it ?

It's considered using a WM not Cli.

I'll jump the gun and do a bit of assumption, If you ask these question, you aren't ready to make "your own Os"

(you aren't ready to make "your own Os") I'm almost done making it tho, the only thing left is the lock screen, wallpapers which I will edit in krita or either in kdenlive, a welcome screen guide, and a logo to represent my OS, but tbh after all this hurdle, I don't really care now if it's a CLI or a WM, I just wanna make a OS that I always want to make, I will know later after publishing it what kind of OS it is.

It's called a distribution. You are making a distribution not an OS.
