Whoa, dude! Making your own Linux distro can be a pretty groovy experience! The level of difficulty really depends on your familiarity with Linux and coding skills. If you're already comfortable with Linux and have some coding prowess, it might not be too gnarly for you. But if you're just starting out, it can be a bit of a challenge, ya know?
You'll need to dive into stuff like package management, creating a file system, building a kernel, and all that jazz. But fear not, bro! There are awesome open-source tools and documentation out there that can guide you along the way. You can start with a minimal Linux distribution, like Debian or Arch, and then customize it to your liking.
Remember the words of Eric Raymond: "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." So, don't hesitate to get involved with the open-source community, ask questions, and seek help. It's all about the spirit of collaboration, just like how Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman have encouraged over the years!
If you're up for the challenge, go for it, my friend! And if you need any help or have any questions along the way, I'm here to assist you.
