Use a basic Linux base and install some packages to make a desktop however you want. See my other videos on further customization! My Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/doriandotslash (CLICK \/ SHOW MORE \/ FOR A LIST OF COMMANDS!) The base Ubuntu I installed is the Ubuntu MinimalCD. You can find the ISO here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD To install all the packages I'm using "sudo apt install" and the packages I install, in the order I install them are: lightdm openbox-gnome-session openbox gnome-terminal obmenu gedit tint2 docky nitrogen ubuntu-wallpapers pcmanfm lxappearance xcompmgr firefox pavucontrol volti gconf-editor The file you want to create/edit for openbox autostart commands is located at ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh The file you want to create/edit to automatically login is located at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (Must be root to edit/create this file). While this is "almost" from scratch, I have no intention of truly going completely from scratch, AKA, compiling the kernel etc. So many things go wrong! LOL
