I've been working on my own distro, it's been fun

I've been building Vantum, a custom Puppy Linux distro (woof-CE, Ubuntu Jammy compat base) aimed at people who want the speed and small footprint of Puppy without it looking and feeling like it's from 2009.
It's pretty basic for now, but I had a great time working on it.
I built it on windows 11 via multipass, and made a bunch of customizations. First, I added picom, a new tint2rc bar compared to the jwm trays, a custom taskbar and even a custom app launcher (vantask and vantyl).
I also trimmed down a bunch of apps, and made the desktop simpler (removed the rox-filer based desktop entirely, opting for hsetroot for wallpapers).
Let me know what you think!
I've recently also added it to distrowatch but it's still in their waitlist.
