    LFS is great, I started with it 25 years ago (not joking, it was GCC 2.9 time)

    But quickly discovered Gentoo and been there since that time. LFS is not maintainable, Gentoo is the good of LFS plus perfect maintainability.

      Never actually tried LFS but I have done Gentoo from stage 1 (back when that was an option), so I’m going to use your statement as an indication I can skip LFS 😁

    I’m curious, how well has Musl been for software compatibility? How did you resolve any that came up?

      For musl, I’ve been actively using it for 7 months now and just encounter minor issue. Some packages need to be patched for musl compatibility (I borrow the patches from alpine linux).

    it’s nice to see people are still doing this; bravo!

    i’ve also intended to try my hand at this, but my inner masochist is too lazy for it. lol

      I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.

        same here on both counts.

        i created a convincing lcars interface based on enlightenment 20-ish years ago and it would take on a whole new level of enjoyment nowadays with a touchscreen laptop; i could pretend that i have a padd. lol

        that part of my comment was meant to be a self indictment/reflection; i’m a bit of a linux cuck since i’ve adapted myself to fit ordinary distros’ designs instead of creating something that works for me. lol

        that’s why i marvel at people who do the needful that i should be doing, like here.

    You will go back to your “usual” linux setup when you realize that most packages you set up with LFS are now broken and you’ll need to redo the whole process again.

    t. arch linux minimal installation only master race

    I tried LFS one time, and accidentally ran one or more of the commands on my host machine, rendering it unusable

    I’m currently trying seatd+turnstile+greetd on Artix-dinit and Void (Runit), so far everything stable. s6 usersv would be an alternative for turnstile+dinit but i see s6 more on server, personally.

    This reminds me, i wanted to try mdev for a long time (there’s mdev like a boss).
