Isn't every distro a custom distro, by definition? Anyways, I get that this is a "risk" to consider, but installing a new distro isn't so bad that it should prevent one from trying and using a currently extant distro if it works for them. | ||||||||

I'm not sure I'd define the atomic Fedora variants as "distros" in the traditional sense. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but Bazzite, Bluefin, etc, are basically just Dockerfiles that use Atomic Fedora as the base image. So you are basically getting a pre-built docker container that is "Fedora + various configs added on top", and then you are booting that docker image. Since it's just a container file, anyone could theoretically just fork the Bazzite repo, make some changes to the Dockerfile, then push it to github + let github actions build a custom docker image. So is that custom docker image a distro? Some would say yes, others would say no. | ||||||||
