I can develope ubuntu if i get enough tutorials for that. Linux mint can be also used for forking if you have tutorial for linux mint. I tried to use linux live kit, but i cant install that live kit distro easily.

  • there maybe better *duplicates* from later users, but you can enable source on your Ubuntu system, then download the source code and compile your own packages. Alternatively you can also upload source to places like launchpad & provide specific packages for download by others via PPA or *personal package archives*. Linux Mint isn't a fork of Ubuntu; it's Ubuntu based and they only provide a small subset of the system with a large portion of pacakges coming from Ubuntu – guiverc Aug 21 '23 at 10:13
  • There are many Ubuntu wiki pages useful - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/SourceCode https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel ... etc ... even download the source you want for a product, eg. https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.04/release/source/ (using the 20.04 you tagged as a starting point) – guiverc Aug 21 '23 at 10:15

    It's not clear if you really want to *fork* Ubuntu (a monumental job!) Perhaps you merely want to learn how to *develop for Debian and Ubuntu*, a much more reasonable path for learning. Or perhaps you want something else. – user535733 Aug 21 '23 at 12:20
  • where i can start? – Len Tas Aug 24 '23 at 11:29
  • It's *open source* code, so you can `apt source` to install the source code, modify it, and generate your own versions of the tools/packages/code yourself. There are many distributions that are Ubuntu based (*such as Linux Mint you mention; it's not a fork of Ubuntu though, but a Ubuntu based system, with a version based on Debian - ie. LMDE too*). – guiverc Aug 24 '23 at 11:36
  • Other Ubuntu based systems exist; eg. Makulu Linux was created by a *developer* and blogged about switching from Debian (*used before Ubuntu*) and how he created the Makulu Linux ISOs on the new Ubuntu based system when he switched to being Ubuntu based... Blogs like that are where I'd start. He wrote about the tools he used, why he used them (*and changes to the code since he didn't write the tools, just modified prior tools & outlined why he made changes etc*). I recall the Makulu Linux blogs as the were interesting/well-written I thought & made sense. I'm using that as example. – guiverc Aug 24 '23 at 11:38
