    I’m glad I could point you in the direction of the rabbit hole. It’s not for nothing that my name’s Alice :)

    For me it was also a good read learning about how the various languages make the plural of euro. Some languages keep “euro” as the plural, some others have a plural form (which is fine), but some others have really weird shit with complex logic. I’m always fascinated by languages!




  • I agree with everything you said.

    LSF is not a distro. It is a instruction manual and teaching aid. Don’t use it as a base for your main OS

    OP, you can use it as your main OS, and I know some people do. I wouldn’t recommend it, though. Because once you have LFS you realise that you need at least automatic dependency resolution. And once you start thinking about it you realise that you’re reinventing a package manager. At that point just use a distro you like :D


  • aliceitc@lemmy.blahaj.zonetoLinux@lemmy.mlGentoo or LFS?

    I suggest LFS if you want to learn the complexity of creating a distro from scratch. (You might not succeed on the first try. I gave up multiple times before forcing myself to finish it)

    I never tried Gentoo so I can’t really say anything good or bad about it.

    My question is: what are you expecting to learn from this? you say “learn more” but what exactly do you want to learn? Because if it’s “becoming better at linux” you can definitely do it with just Arch.

    If you just want something “more difficult” to install, I guess you can do it.
