How to create a new "Labs" custom iso for my own use

Hello. First off, I am brand new to this. My question: I would like to create something similar to one of the “Labs” downloads but strictly for my own use. It would have all the apps I use regularly such as photo and video editing software. I have looked online for tutorials, videos and walkthroughs to no avail. I think I’d have to use a kickstart file but that’s all I’ve figured out.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Check out the related topics at the end of this page - you may end up having to follow a few levels of redirection but you’ll gather info on the way.

However, why don’t you install an immutable spin and layer your apps into that?

Kickstart, Kiwi and / or Ansible.
