Ran a few tests, it works, it's all good, but I lost 2 days. Not complaining that much, I learned a few new things, tomorrow I will attempt to create the Standalone Executable for Windows. I would have been better off having someone with experience beside me to teach me a few things, and I would have been glad to pay for that.
The learn effect is bigger if you do it on your own, trust me.
However, if you are going to be stuck at some point, or have any questions, feel free to post them here. I (and others most likely too) will gladly assist you without taking money from you.
Since you already learned some linux basics, you already laid the foundation of running a bootable linux distro. It is always nice to know how to at least navigate in a linux environment (e.g. if you need to repair your filesystem, recover deleted files, access coins from a cold wallet setup).
