yaml config that defines everything:

distro: artix          # debian | ubuntu | arch | artix | void | alpine | fedora
arch: x86_64
init: dinit            # dinit | openrc | runit | s6

hostname: mydistro

  name: My Distro
  version: "1.0"
  label: MYDISTRO

  - name: user
    shell: /bin/bash
    groups: [wheel]

packages:
  - linux
  - plasma-desktop

supported distros

how it works

1. reads your yaml config
2. bootstraps the target distro into a temporary rootfs
3. installs your packages
4. configures users, services, hostname
5. installs the bootloader
6. squashes the rootfs into an ISO
7. done.
