Recently, I’ve been wanting to make a custom live iso with a couple of tools that I need but I really don’t know where to start or what to do… any help?

E: I didn’t phrase my post correctly, I need a portable set of desktop tools for development, running on the gnome desktop

    Absolutely. I think there are even some tutorials out there. Once you arrive at something, please share it to help the mindshare. Feel free to look at my config at https://github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config (I added a branch for liveISO that I worked on for a bit) I have most of the stuff hidden in the secrets folder for my latest config but the plutusVM endpoint could get one 80% of the way there. You’d just have to change filesystem mounts. Maybe you could work in some code from: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Impermanence to really keep it wiping almost everything on reboot.

      Thanks! I’ll take a better look at it and nixos (again) when I have time, I like how honest you are about text editors lol. Looks incredibly complicated at a 1st glance

        the liveIso branch is SIGNIFICANTLY pared down for your consumption though admittedly I was unable to get the live iso part working.

        I got a working, good, lightweight, kickass xmonad home-manager config into the system/machine/liveISO folder just for you.
