How can I create a joke Linux Distro similar to what Hannah Montana Linux was?

I just want to modify an easy to use Linux distro to come with certain themes and software preinstalled, as a joke.

LFS (Linux From Scratch), though building a custom NetBSD or OpenBSD Kernel and making an ISO with custom packages/configuration is a lot easier.
You're speaking in the past tense. There are at least two more joke distros around which are active as of now: Justin Bieber Linux ('Biebian') and Rebecca Black OS...
Hannah Montana Linux is just a joke?
But that was what I was going to use once Windows 10 dies... 😩
- If I remember correctly, Hannah Montana Linux was one of the first using wayland.
Back in college we had a project that was this. Most of us used Linux From Scratch, a few of us used gentoo, having played with arch since, you could use that too.

Penguins Eggs is another way to do it:
take an existing distro
customize it how you want
save it as a 'new' distro with Penguins Eggs
To me, ublue is the easiest way of creating and maintaining a custom linux distribution
https://github.com/ublue-os
- Here’s an example of a themed distro built using ublue: https://blues.win/95/
  You can check out their GitHub to see how it’s done.
A themed Nix setup would be great for this
- Great why? 🤞I may finally get around to trying nix if something spawns here soon
  
  With nix all you need is the config file to distribute, and it can be preconfigured precisely how you like it. Someone loads the config file, bam Hannah Montana everywhere
I played around with cubic, if I recall correctly it worked pretty well and wasn't super unintuitive. It's made for Ubuntu.
