I want to build Linux From Scratch so i can assert dominance on the “i UsE aRCh By tHe WAy!” guys. Any advice?
Don’t do it. It takes too long and there are reasons why there are distros. Maybe Gentoo is a good alternative?
Agreed in part. There are reasons there are distros, but I don’t think Op is suggesting to run LFS as a daily driver. More that they want to install it to show they can. And on that front, I’d disagree. Go for it! The book is fairly self explanatory. It does call out some choices early on with respect to package management. Stop and think at that point. Make a choice, then move forward.
Patience and don’t rush it
Do Linux From Scratch! You will learn a lot. I credit LFS with getting me comfortable with the linux command line.
But don’t use it as your daily use linux.
LFS pwns Gentoo like Gentoo pwns Arch
I enjoyed asking Microsoft, I mean Bing, how to install Linux from scratch. It is actually really helpful and even expressed hope that I would “enjoy the process and learn from it.”
(i use arch, btw)
