Edit: Newest version here:
kiwifarms.pl
Note: Has some installer issues, unstable at present, use first version for now.
After reading the Software Endorsements thread, I noticed a lot of recommended Linux software for Kiwis. Since I figured it would be a hassle for most Kiwis to have to download it all, I decided to cobble together a custom Linux using the best suggestions from that thread with all the major recommendations for the optimal Kiwi shitposting experience.
It's based on Xubuntu 18.04.3 (LTS), meaning it will receive regular security updates until 2023.
It uses the XFCE desktop by default, as it was the best compromise between looking good and being fast, and you can see the readme file I included for all the other stuff included.
Despite the name, it's just a custom LiveCD of Xubuntu, it has no special Kiwi Farms branding, which would have been nice to include but I suck at that sort of thing.
It has been preconfigured to run with basic drivers for all sorts of graphics hardware and optimized for virtual machines like VirtualBox as well.
Should run quite well on anything made after 2012 or later.
Has several package managers, so if you need to customize it further after install, go nuts.
I cannot copyright this nor will I try, so if you want to customize and fork this, do whatever you want, it's free software after all.

> ubuntu and not templeos based Lord Terry would be ashamed. It would be disrespectful to tarnish God's OS with our shitposting, Terry would agree with me.
