LFS eldritch horror here, I just daily Gentoo. Maintaining LFS is just exhausting and kinda unrealistic for any long term use. It’s not really meant as a daily driver but more of a learning thing. But man, it’s freaking awesome to see a system you built from scratch boot up and function. I highly recommend it, and even if you do/when you fail, at the minimum you learn to appreciate all the hard work that goes into a distribution.
You can install gentoo from practically any ISO. I used Linux Mint lol. That way I could doomscroll reddit and watch YouTube while GCC worked tirelessly in the background.
I have a small and humble set up. Pihole on my old Pi3, OpenMediaVault, Kavita, Qbittorrent on my Pi 4 and my other Pi 4 is running fucked up Lemmy and Mastodon instances because I’m new to this stuff.
Gnome 2.x was the GOAT
