Actually, this is the scope of some of the projects on the list. Most of them are derivates of / similar to FreedomBox: Cowbox, Enigmabox, LibraryBox, Starkit.
Cozy provides ready-made images, but tends to work more like as a complete platform itself. This seems to be also the plan for SlapOS, Avatar, and Grand Decentral Station.
Personally I like the Ansible-based recipes which allow you to qucikly setup a server. The best examples are Sovereign (missing in this list?) and Keybits.
My point is that there are already people working on this stuff. If you wish to help, take a look at these projects.

Thank you so much.
FreedomBox is about smartphont security and Avatar about a cloud host,
But BitMessage, YaCy even Bitcoin runs on personal computer, maybe somebody want to try them in a convenient way, the p2p linux distro iso is a better choice.
There is not a same stuff in the above projects.

Oh, I see your point, the target here is a desktop, which makes sense. There may be a few interesting options listed on Prism Break, for example Liberté (Gentoo-based), Whonix or Talis—at least as a basis to build upon.

Or puppy linux? It is small (runs entirely in ram) , has already a server included in it (hiawatha) and the built environment is on github, so anyone who knows a bit what they are doing (not me) could customise it. https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE

Than you so much @jnv.
Do you think building p2p distro it's a good idea? Maybe need it, but not nesessary.

P.S. Maybe create p2p distro base on Tails.

For what it's worth, Arch Linux has an ample toolset for turning an install (even one set up in a fakeroot or one that you did some manual tinkering with) into a full live distro:
