List of Packages I Plan to Put in My Custom Distro
From Ubuntu Base 16.04:

My Added Packages (unsure about dependencies):
gnome nicotine xorg transmission-qt rhythmbox vlc
I would've added these too had they been free instead of non-free (also unsure of dependencies):
kodi retroarch
Packages taken out:
ubuntu-keyring
------------------
Basically this compilation of packages is for a distro that would be an entertainment-oriented distro that also includes decentralized ways to obtain media.
You're missing important things like GRUB and Linux-libre.
I think that Kodi is free. It's in the Trisquel repo. Perhaps instead of getting these packages from Ubuntu 16.04 you could get them from Trisquel 8. That way you'll know that there aren't any freedom issues (unless there's been an error). I think that this is what Uruk does. They have a repo of their own packages that they add to the distro, but most packages come from Trisquel.

Ah, good job pointing that out. Thanks.

Really? That's weird. When I installed "sudo apt install kodi" in the terminal it replied with an error. I'll just recheck, then.
