That's awesome. When I was doing LFS I found it a shame that there is no community for people who have built an LFS system and want to continue using it and improving it. You know, things like trick, troubleshooting, advice, and so on would be helpful. And it could make an LFS system actually usable, for someone who is really interested and has nothing against spending some time on the system. So I think your project is the right step in this direction. Ideally there should be a wiki, a forum, and an IRC channel for LFS, so that people can share and find information. Now I think Arch Linux has become much more popular than some years ago, and also LFS. Five years ago nobody ever talked about LFS. It was a distro for people with special interests. Now much more people know about it. So I think there is a shift happening in the Linux world, and perhaps, a real LFS community could appear someday.

While there is an LFS subreddit (unofficial), the typical way to communicate anything about LFS is to make YT vids or go on the mailing lists or submit patches. Everything is stuck in the old days and fragmented. I want to help move LFS in a better direction because I know it's, well, yeah. It's all a mess currently. I could do the things you suggested although it was be very difficult for me to do... but I can and want to do it out of love and see it be better. I think what may happen in the future will be very exciting.

Awesome! I will be going through this at my first opportunity

least bloated gaming setup

Kiddo wtf you are something else, pure gem. I considered my self really advenced linux user. But I would never use LFS as a dayly driver and gaming rig. Yet you are doing this after using linux for a 1 year so far. Mate mis whatever you identyfa as. You are genius. I use linux for 10 years, I would not dare to compile LFS. Respect a metric tone of that

@@zeckma TL:DR Its a long comment but please read it to the end, also english is not my best and strongest skill. Thank you.for clarification. Im not familiar with english slurs or non slurs for all that gender things and whatnot in english. I do not know English to well. Anyway I started to read LFS book because of you. My head exploded. I understand Slackware, Debian even gentoo. I can do crazy tings with them. So I thought I know linux well after 10 years of using it. But apparently I know much less then I thought i know. So I started learning and that's awesome. THX for that. Zekma with that level of knowledge and brain power you gonna make wonders and go far. No matter what you will choose to do In life. Im a sponge for knowledge because my levels of curiosity in vast area of subjects are hudge. I can recognize other sponges when i see them. I did not meet many people who easily learns new things and concepts as fast as me. But you my friend are on completely different level. Never met anyone who learns this fast with that deep level of understanding of given subject BEST OF WISHES TO YOU FROM FAR POLAND

Saved for later. Will give this a go through when I try putting Linux onto this rig sometime in the near future.

Looking forward to this

This looks very cool and alott of work you've put into. Ill take a look at your book real soon I think, cause my LFS build needs some games for sure :D

Beast dude!

I have been gaming on Debian and Arch for some time now, but figuring out how this stuff works, was real adventure lmao I gotta read through it, surely I'll learn some more stuff lol

Respect

The HyperX SoloCast is a great standalone starter mic btw :3

I saw someone asking for an ISO of your LFS install, Telling you thanks for them.

forgot to say, even though it was a book, still meant it as instructions are solid.

oooooh interesting

Does this include enough 32-bit libraries to launch Steam? A long time ago I made a multilib LFS distro.

@zeckma

Ай бұрын

Yup! It covers everything you'll need and some nice to haves for both Steam and Wine, allowing for a WoW64 build and provides instructions for all three build types: 32-bit, 64-bit, and WoW64 (combined).

I'm a beginner when it comes to Linux. Can you tell me what the advantage of using Linux from Scratch is over a regular distro?

@zeckma

Ай бұрын

You're afforded as much customization you could ever wish for at the cost of pouring a lot of time into the process. If you're a beginner and still want a minimal system, please try Arch or Gentoo first before moving on to LFS so you don't burn yourself.
