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?
KDE, Gnome, the kernel, you can compile them without any problems. They’re large and complex but they’re well organized.
X is weird but it can also be compiled fairly easily.
Mozilla stuff is horrendous. There’s no rhyme or reason, it’s hard to find build instructions, half the time they don’t work, when they do the build fails with obscure errors…
