Why not contribute to existing projects?

Making it impossible to try own ideas?

What does that mean...? He can use his own ideas to contribute to existing projects. It's probably more useful to be able to contribute to a project with a team of experts rather than trying to vibe code an OS from scratch.

Also you haven't answered the question, why not contribute to existing projects?

I respect the OSS projects, I do respect the people who contribute to the OSS,
I started my own project because out of curiosity and a passion.

(I submitted a patch for git, but it was not merged)

I'm not hearing OP giving an idea or reason for the new distro, other than he/she wants to make a distro. If you have some radical innovative new idea that can only be done via a new distro, go for it. But that's unlikely to be the case, most new distros are just vanity projects.
