From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OS means operating system, the thing that allows to get shit done. You don't want this to be unique nor creative.
I'm glad this is getting at least a few upvotes.
You can still play around with it, but the base should be boringly solid and widely compatible.
Then make it unique.
And I don't mean to say that distro developers or even users shouldn't be creative.
