This one seems to be popping up every few weeks. I really enjoyed successfully bootstrapping my own Linux box from scratch after a few unsuccessful tries. Then you have this box that helps you realize how difficult it is to maintain a Linux box without a package manager :P
- Shared404 5y ago> Then you have this box that helps you realize how difficult it is to maintain a Linux box without a package manager :P Indeed. I will say though, I'm seriously considering using this for a custom built appliance, probably for audio work - I always get annoyed at purpose focused distros because I can't quite fit it all in brainspace, and then it updates and changes under me. Audio specifically because I can never remember if my laptop is set up with Pulse/ALSA/JACK/OSS/Pipewire, and always break things when I try to set things up (I'm kinda dumb). But perhaps a custom LFS which never needs to be changed or connected to the internet after installation...
- shmoe 5y agoMan I remember back in the day trying to run a media PC connected to a TV on Linux and all the fun times with audio. Not a fun time for anyone.
