For those of you who don’t know, Linux From Scratch is a project that teaches you how to compile your own custom distro, with everything compiled from source code.

What was your experience like? Was it easier or harder than you expected? Do you run it as a daily driver or did you just do it for fun?

    imo, that is like learning a new language you’ll never use – who on earth would search for new employees that can compile their own distro? It’s fun at first, but definitely not useful.

      The xz backdoor hidden in precooked blobs would like a word with you.

        Being fun does not make (thing) a necessity let alone useful – there are a lot of useless things that are fun.

      That sounds great, I always wanted to learn Latin and even French, or really every language if I had the time.

      new employees

      You must be fun at parties. There are reasons to do things besides pleasing the man y’know.
