I tested this in a VM (so far) and I was expecting it to boot up like a normal Debian or Mint/Ubuntu distro, these take anywhere from 38 seconds to just over a minute to be on the desktop, I would really like to know more about your method to build this OS as it is the way I want to do it from now on, I've been using a base Mint OS and adding to that and using penguins eggs to capture it. But like I said, after trying your OS and seeing it is fully packed and can somehow boot up in 14 seconds, OMG, how ???
I love the wallpaper collection etc, you just need to mod the grub boot screen so there is less penguins on it and it would be pretty damn complete.
Please share your method from start to finish, no need for details, I'd ask any follow up questions if I get stuck, but I am all for having the best base I can start with, which is why I picked Mint. My end users I am focused on is Windows users, so I've tested a BUNCH of OS's to find that one is closest to being like windows, but I've learnt how to add the same features to other Distro's now, so am willing to move on to another distro as my base (well really Linux Mint is just a respin too, but we wont tell them that, their cinnamon desktop is awesome really.
Thank you

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
BTW I don't know the reason, but you have a file named /etc/skel/Desktop this blocks Cinnamon from creating the Desktop folder (Can't have both a file and folder with the same name),. Easy finx is remove that file from your skel folder and it'll fix the issue, because if I turn on show desktop icons, it shows all your folders in /home/{USER}/ because it must default to that when not able to set the desktop path it wants to.
