From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Making a custom live iso, then flashing it with persistent storage (lemmy.world)

Recently, I've been wanting to make a custom live iso with a couple of tools that I need but I really don't know where to start or what to do... any help?

E: I didn't phrase my post correctly, I need a portable set of desktop tools for development, running on the gnome desktop

              You can install Linux to external drives/USB sticks and boot from them.
Some live systems offer persistence via a separate partition on the USB stick. You might want to look into those.

it's not portable (a single iso file), and I don't care about persistence that much tbh, to me it's more important to be able to customize the system and add the things I need to it

Okay, so your main goal really is your own Linux live ISO? Unfortunately I don't really have experience with that.
