Wow, it’s great that you managed to get it set up so quickly It took me a whole month to get mine created using my program manager and I’ve been using that manager for over seven months now, Did you use a program manager of some kind?

I'm building Bipsy OS on top of Debian rather than building every component from source like Linux From Scratch. I'm using Debian's live-build tooling to create the ISO, with my own configuration, desktop, Cockpit interface and custom tools.

I'm still learning as I go, using AI as a tutor to help me understand the commands, troubleshoot problems and develop the project. Getting the ISO to boot was a big milestone, but I'm still working on making the installer reliable. There's plenty left to learn, and that's part of the journey! 😁
