Box Linux — a small Debian-based distro I built as a learning project (BL)

Hey all — I built Box Linux (BL), a custom Debian-based distro made with live-build. Nothing ambitious, just wanted to learn what actually goes into building your own OS on top of a proven base instead of starting from scratch. A few things about it: Uses fastfetch instead of neofetch Has its own logo (open cardboard box, open-source theme) Dual-licensed GPLv3/MIT Active development, first release is out with a bootable ISO It's a learning project first, so go easy on me, but I'd genuinely love feedback if anyone tries it out. Repo's linked below.
