Could you build this?

No Fedora Linux is a full operating system distribution with a kernel, desktop environment, packaging system, and thousands of maintained packages. Building a comparable release requires large, long-term engineering teams and infrastructure.

What it would actually take: A real distro means building on the Linux kernel with a curated package set (RPM/DNF build infrastructure, Koji-style build systems), a desktop environment such as GNOME, installer, QA and release pipelines, and security maintenance. This needs many experienced systems engineers and a community of package maintainers.
