There's nothing stoping you from gutting your distro and installing new kernel, libc, package manager, toolchain, and all the other components. The GUI should be trivial as people have change back and forth among different ones (within the same distro) anyway, assuming your package manager.
Of course, this begs the question: why the fuck would you do that instead of just installing a new one fresh?
