Are there Linux distributions that have the entire core repository built in natively?
Like, I downloaded an image for 100+ gigs, uploaded it to a flash drive, and then, when installing from this flash drive, a completely ready-made system with programs for absolutely all occasions, without the need to download them and install them through the network.
PS Guys, I don't want to do a local repository manually! I want an installer image for 100 - 200 gigs, where this very local repository is already built in initially.
Imagine that I'm going to hell and there is no Internet, if I need to install dist with the maximum amount of useful software on some other (not my own) machine, then how can I do it without such an assembly?
And I know about Debian, but their images are full of shit, when writing to a USB flash drive and inserting the second and third disks, he then stupidly does not see them, requires drivers that are not there, and hell, I give birth to them without the Internet.

of course not. why?
During installation, a sufficient set of software for the home is installed, for example, Linux Mint
Debian has a collection of 4x (or more) DVDs from which you can install everything that is in the debian repo Ubuntu
also has a DVD, there is a lot of everything ....
As far as I I know repositories can be cached by creating an archive, then you can install from your archive without the Internet
Download, for example, debian, all DVDs. Install from the first one, then copy everything to disk and connect it to sources.list. That's it, the full offline rap is ready. The same can be done with any distro that has a full install distro on disks.
If not, you raise the mirror of the repository locally, connect it, use it.
a completely ready-made system with programs for absolutely all occasions
There is no point in this, because. in the 1st, everyone has different tasks, and the advantage of the system is just that. that you have a certain minimum set for full-fledged work, and what is missing is very easy to install from the repositories,
in the 2nd core of the system, drivers, and application packages are constantly updated, bugs and security problems are fixed, incl. such a mega distribution will become obsolete almost as soon as it is released.
It is impossible to have everything installed - some packages simply conflict with each other (for example, because they perform the same task)
And for work without access to the global network - this is welcome. Only you need to take not something hipster-youth
For example, the debian repository of the current release for amd64 is available on 19 DVDs. Right at the stage of installation from the disk, you will be prompted to insert other disks of the repository, then when you try to install something, apt will ask you to "give me a disk such and such."
Release updates can also be downloaded on disks.
Although it is iso's that they stopped publishing except for the very first one (they eat a lot of places and networks, and server resources are not commercial), they can be assembled according to the instructions via jigdo.
So the meaning of repositories is precisely that someone updates and supplements them.
You can simply set up a local repository and download all or part of the software you need.
Of course not. The closest analogue - well, this is probably Gentoo / FreeBSD to which the entire ports / portage tree is attached - go and download, it will certainly take a lot of space, and after downloading this version of the tree, it is not recommended to update the ports so that changes are not made.
PS Guys, I don't want to do a local repository manually!
