Broke my mint running laptop trying to do Linux from scratch. Went on a wild ride of FreeBSD -> OpenBSD -> OpenIndiana -> Tribblix -> Debian Buster -> Debian Bookworm, settling on bookworm and LXDE. Kinda disappointed I'm back on a mainstream Linux install, but at least everything works and doesn't get in the way. Kinda miss Tribblix but damn if it didn't have a good enough web browser. oof.

@idx2 to be honest, LFS teaches you a lot of how OSs work, but today, it is completely useless. i am using unixlike OSs since 1996. bsd, solaris, linux etc... there is no really efford in building a LFS. i want to work with operation systems, not to play around. · 2 months ago
@bavarianbarbarian sadly no, I got as far as installing the GCC toolchain as the LFS user before something broke. I might've not done something from the LFS user / changed a setting meant for the LFS user as my own user account. either way, the installation was toast. Tribblix was lovely for what it was though. · 2 months ago
@idx2 you made lfs? great job! did that shit one time in my life, it's a *insertbadwordhere*. for years now i am using crunchbang/bunsenlabs lunix as a daily driver, works fine for me. very handsome, comes out of the box like i would make my setup for my own. give it a try. · 2 months ago
