Could you build this?
No Creating a custom Linux OS distribution involves OS build systems, kernel configuration, ISO bundling, custom security tooling, and operating-system level packaging that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: This requires Debian packaging (Live-build/debootstrap), configuring Calamares or a custom OS installer, building custom systemd services and pam modules, compiling a custom Rust daemon for secure memory-pinned key storage (mlock/process memory isolation), and maintaining upstream repository updates and package signing infrastructure.
