Gentoo installs are able to be maintained.

LFS not so much.

… unless you install a package manager, which turns LFS into an another distro. 🤷

Or you could start with something which already has a package manager.

LFS is fun weekend project, but it’s not a daily driver.

When I started thinking about the amount of work needed to maintain an LFS install, I realized I should install Gentoo. It’s Source based, and other people already put in the work.

Agreed. It’ll teach a lot, but to make it last longer, you want a package manager.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
