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.

Well if you want to make a completely independent distro you could try linux from scratch and package the distro as an ISO with the packages you want and maybe try to add a package manager if you can. However i doubt that would be worth it as linux from scratch takes a lot of time and efforts to build and will rarely be better than just building a custom arch or debian ISO
