> tuned it and gave it a custom paint job

The way to interact with the OS is significantly different from almost all other Linux distros. There is no shell, no DE. This feels like a lot more than "a custom paint job".

Is Ubuntu an OS? Mint?

Neither have built the package managment system, or the kernel, the DE(s), the utilities (maybe some but certainly not all).

What about CentOS? Or Bazzite? Or even Android?

Is macOS an OS, or "a custom BSD distro"?

And if none of those are OSs, does a Linux-based OS even exist? If not, what's the point of the distinction?

Yours is a distro. Period. When you create your own kernel, then you can make bold claims like "I created an OS," when you haven't. Be humble, and you'll be more successful. Linus Torvalds and DHH are the only two arrogant people in tech, but both have accomplished enough to earn the exception. Hubris has no place in tech!

lol what? I have no distros or OSs. You're delusional and arrogant yourself.
