Not sure if you guys will find this neat, but I did in sophomore year. https://susestudio.com/ This would be cool if we made a flagship OS for the site. Slackware based, Suse powered, built for getting whatever we want done, formed around the Idea of Gaming. Cool huh?
Me and a guy at work made Waffle OS. Then we had all these crazy ideas that every time you clicked with the mouse a sound would play, "waffle". Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying to make a distro, but there are so many out there already.
I can't keep up with all the distro's I figured since I do a lot of game guides and want to be standard with most new linux users, I'll use Mint. I don't love Mint but don't hate it either. Does what I need it to do. I'm also not so much a Linux enthusiast than a gaming enthusiast. So I don't tinker with Linux unless it helps my games.
