Hey — I’ve been building a custom Ubuntu 26.04 desktop called X47. It’s not a fork with its own package repos; it’s a remastered Ubuntu installer + an idempotent install script that reproduces the whole setup on a fresh machine.

What it is

A daily-driver Ubuntu desktop aimed at cybersecurity / pentest / general Linux work:

• Debloated — games, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, GNOME Terminal, App Centre snap, etc. trimmed; boot/idle tweaks (ClamAV on-demand, printing services off by default, etc.)
• WezTerm as the only default terminal (compact window, X47 watermark, no OS title bar)
• Mullvad VPN + Tor Browser in the app menu
• Pentest + dev toolchain (apt / Go / pipx / cargo / GitHub bins) with custom app-grid icons
• Desktop FX — bottom dock, Desktop Cube, Coverflow Alt-Tab, Blur My Shell, wobbly windows, TV Glitch open / Broken Glass close
• Per-workspace wallpapers — ASCII knuckle-duster in teal / green / red / purple so each cube face is obvious
• Linux CMD Helper — desktop card: ask in plain English, get the Ubuntu terminal command back (needs your own Anthropic key; nothing is baked into the ISO)
• Hardened defaults — UFW, fail2ban, AppArmor, auditd, Firefox enterprise policy (tracking protection, HTTPS-only, DoH, etc.)
• Optional --with-amnesia: Tor-forced anon session (opt-in)
