Linux From Scratch

>Anyone here ever try Linux From Scratch
Yes.

>Do anything cool with it[?]
Not really. Anyone who does do anything interesting with LFS makes their own distro; e.g. Solus, Arya

>Make it a usable system for daily use
Making it usable would pretty much consist of installing a package manager, which, at that point, why not install the distro which the package manager works best on and just modify it to how you would like?

At what point does LFS end and a different distro Begin?

>Still run it daily?
See previous answer.

Making a logo.

Stuff like gcc can take hours or even days to compile. Only do lfs if you're doing it to learn or making something special.

would a qt girl would like it if someone made a distro for her and finished that 500 pages book? just like what stallman wanted to do with Alix

Writing a new package manager that isn't shit like all of the other package managers that aren't shit

fixing the fuck tarded filesystem hierarchy

making updates like checkpoints so you can easily roll things back to previous checkpoints

>>60382531
I was wondering if anyone had any examples of having made "something special"

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
