Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

a good starter distro but ideally you should make your own from scratch so you know what's in it

Honestly you're not a real one until you've written your own kernel entirely

Writing your own internet protocol is a good idea but you shouldn't stop there. You need to run your own internet cables too to make sure it does what you want and isn't controlled by someone else.

And develop your own plastic to cover the cables?
