Advice on config hacking / yak shaving / bikeshedding
That said, I found that setting up evil wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you want to see how simple it can be, you can take a look at the pull request I linked in the original post. I can also recommend taking a look at this config for another example of how setting it up can actually be very simple: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

Basic customization to make emacs more modern
I personally also maintain a lightweight config with better defaults, aimed at new Emacs users, perhaps it could help you too: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

[Package shout-out] All-the-icons-ivy-rich is awesome
And here for an unopinionated literate config I maintain: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

How do I turn my customized Emacs into it’s own distribution like Spacemacs Or Doom
I suggest you look at other publically shared configs and "distributions". E.g. yay-evil-emacs is one such "distribution", and is different from the author's personal config.

Where can I learn about emacs.init?
If you feel lost in basic customization of Emacs, perhaps my project yay-evil could help. It's fairly simple to follow (if I may say so myself) and has over 270 stars -- so at least quite a few beginners have found it useful.

Where to start with init.el
This is not a video styled tutorial, but I actively maintain a yay-evil framework aimed at beginners to help them build their own vanilla config. Feel free to give it a try! https://github.com/ianpan870102/yay-evil-emacs

Are there any minimal evil distributions?
I'd check out Yay-Evil and Corgi.

Emacs 29.1 is going to be released in 2023 spring with built-in LSP support (Eglot)
There's also leaf, which is a great alternative with plenty of useful additional keywords and syntactic sugar.

Use Portage instead of package.el for managing Emacs packages

Where to start with init.el
Using a configuration macro (use-package, leaf or if I may insert my own package setup) are also popular, because they abstract over the fine details of Elisp let you write what you want to configure more declaratively.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing yay-evil-emacs and leaf.el you can also consider the following projects:
emacs-emojify - Display emojis in Emacs
use-package - A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
.wsl-emacs.d - 😈My personal Emacs configuration on Arch & Ubuntu
flycheck - On the fly syntax checking for GNU Emacs
gs-elpa - g-sorcery backend for elisp packages
corgi - Unbundled Emacs configuration aimed at Clojure developers
flymake-flycheck - Use any Emacs flycheck checker as a flymake backend
all-the-icons-completion - Add icons to completion candidates in Emacs
centaur-tabs - Emacs plugin aiming to become an aesthetic, modern looking tabs plugin
