Thank you all. This is helpful.

@Kilrah What you say is really reasonable. What I do know is that I want to invest my time and effort and do it. Not asking for any miracles, just a little bit of what people know or experienced or if any tried to do it. What am trying to do here is turn that complete unknown into a little bit known. Then I can tell if I should give up or not.

What I mean from scratch is following the LFS book to a certain extent and modifying certain things along the way. Maintaining is not an issue at the moment, If I gain good experience from this I will sure build something better to maintain later. @Nayr438 Is LFS really hard to follow? are there more books or guide that you know of can help? I would love to do that , the problem is that I have to specify what I want to modify before starting the project I cant do that because I do not know how long will it take to finish building the distro it self . BTW do you know if following the LFS will take too much time? Thank you

So it is not possible in my time frame. Can I just skip creating it and use APT for example? @WereCatf I apologize for not clearing what I meant by can or cannot modify. What i mean is how advanced is the code? is it possible in the time frame?. The answer for yourself part is what making it hard. How can I know if I will be able to do it or not?. I would love to work until l hit a wall but they don't want the incremental approach. Do you have certain ideas on what software I have the time do reproduce or modify in a certain way?. Or what is too time consuming it is better to leave it as it is

That is exactly why I am asking. Now I know that putting "Creating a package manager" under specifications or goals is not possible. I am not a kick ass programmer for sure am your average Joe . But extremely stubborn , can work harder than a peasant though. Thank you. @Radium_Angel

Hello, I apologize for this long thread, I am a lost sheep that needs guidance. Background I am a senior student studying for my Computer Engineering BE Degree. It is obligatory where I study that students do what is called a (Graduation Project) which is a project you have to complete in two terms period.The project can be whatever you see fit as long as you can secure a supervisor who sees that your suggestion or idea is worth the effort or it will improve the student knowledge, most of the students here develop certain applications that do a certain job for example ( a medicine reminder). I thought about creating a Linux distro. I think it at least requires more work and more attention. Also I will learn a lot about Linux which I personally think is important nowadays. The issue is that I have zero experience in Linux development, it is not something you take in a course in uni, I became interested after taking Google Automation Course. So I have no idea where is the limit as it is something you find whilst building the distro I plan on using Linux from Scratch book as a guide. But of course not duplicating the same thing. Problem I proposed this to my professor with the intention of adding software that students who study here might use the issue is: No clear goal My professor states that the idea in general is OK, but the end goal is not clear. What difference will this make? I explained that basically most distros are the same, it is just different packages and looks. Question I do not think I can specify what I can modify or what I can create by myself or what I can reuse as I said I have never done this before the only why I can find this is whilst doing it. Perhaps a certain software needs a huge team to work on I cant say that I will modify it or create something similar then fail to deliver. I do not want to change the project but I have to convince my supervisor. My question is there any suggestions on what I can change or what is impossible to change as a team of 2 individuals ?. For example can I create a package manger?. I really want to do this from scratch but in order to define a real clear goal I have to know what I can or cannot modify before I even start working on it. Can someone clarify this for me or do you think that I should just drop this whole idea and look for another project?. Thank you.

Thanks mate, I manged to find ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING MOTHERBOARD I intend to use it with the cpu you recommended earlier ??.

Thanks thats why i need help

I Manged to find Asus B150 Pro Gaming as a choice of motherboard do you advise using it? sorry for lots of replays.

Thanks i wil look into it

Thanks mate This is the Ram i manged to find: Kingston Technology HyperX FURY 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL15 DIMM 16 DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) HX424C15FBK2/16 could not find the motherboard you suggested around but i got the idea about the 1151 The prices are waaaaaaaaaay different here due to taxes and costumes, i don't have a lot of choices either really new and very expensive or somehow old and affordable

Hey there, I am planning to build my first " Built PC" in the few days to come, I picked the parts that i think were perfect for the "gaming" build, just want to show you out there to make sure i chose right. Please note that I want the PC to last longer with no performance issues -glad I wrote PC- I don't want to keep upgrading it is expensive . I will put links for the components I chose and i will write the prices I manged to find in my country in USD in red just to show you guys in North America that you live in PC heaven. Please excuse any grammar mistakes.

Will Intel's 1150 die anytime soon ? are there any better options i missed ? or anything please tell me anything would be helpful , Thanks
