Not that any /g/ distro (or project in general) is going to be anything besides a logo contest, the only way a new distro is going to have any relevance is if it has some sort of gimmick that other distros don't have.
If you made it ship with some wayland compositor instead of X11 (xwayland is fine), there would actually be a distinguishing feature.

use as little Gnu/Cancer as possible.

replace gnu core utils with busybox, gcc with clang, etc

Editor - nano (no need for autism here)
Browser - Firefox
MPV for videos
nice looking zsh config

>>What DE/WM
KDE
>>Default editor (vim/emacs/nano)
nano
>>Login Manager
SDDM

Qupzilla

No
>>Default Music/Video player
VLC

>>55664429
>Any GTK+ application
You do realize you actually can't escape glorious GNU do you?
Also
>busybox
kek take your hipster crap somewhere else
>>
>>55664429
Do you seriously believe that busybox is a viable replacement for the GNU coreutils for everyday use?
>gcc with clang
Clang still can't compile Linux.
>nano
Apparently that left the GNU "umbrella" VERY recently, but why on earth would you suggest something which was GNU affiliated for such a long time?
>zsh
zsh is bloated garbage.

If you hate GNU so much, why the hell are you using GNU/Linux? Fuck off to one of the BSDs.

>putting defaults into Arch
Retarded.

>Ctrl+F
>No systemd
So what's the decision on this?
>>
>>55664616
Systemd is the best thing to date :^)
>>
>>55664644
>dubs
So its in :^)
>>
>>55664616
If it's Arch based, it would be stupid NOT to use systemd, unless you want to write a bunch of init scripts or whatever yourself.
Then again, we shouldn't be talking like this is actually going to happen.

Any resolution higher than 80 chars x 24 lines is completely unnecessary bloat. Uses up all muh CPU cyclez!

>Default editor (vim/emacs/nano)
Wow, a choice between arcane keybindings, not UNIX philosophy/bloat/operating system in need of a text editor, and something useless something something. Retards.

>Login Manager
Bloat

>Default web browser
Eww, botnet plz. Plus holy shit, look at how much RAM it's using with only 682 tabs open!!

>Non-Free Graphic Drivers(yes or no)
Nice try, NSA

>Default Music/Video player
Holy shit {program} has shit {format nobody uses} support, what a fucking joke!

>others...
OMG Has the source even been audited?! Why/why not? Probably mining buttcoins while it bitlickerz my files, no thanks. Probably also backdoors.
>>
>>55665193
Oh also,

>Login Manager
Holy shit, why is the K cutting into the gear like that?! This is an extremely important issue and literally triggers me every time I start my computer.

Seriously, I think I need to start a thread about it, guys.

>>
>>55664234
WTF lmao

/g/ edition for arch is the fucking default one. are you trying to make a distribution for new linux users who can't setup partitions and install the basics?
>>
daily reminder that
the

has less than 300 lines

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>55664616
OP doesn't know what's systemd and he still uses a login manager
