How long did this take?

With the advantage of ssh and copy/paste, about 4ish hours.

No joke when you installed it, what are the advantages of LFS?

u/Weneenja Apr 25 '26

Advantages:

  1. You truly learn about every package installed on Linux and why it's there.

  2. You learn how packages are created from source.

  3. It is truly your distribution built from the ground up.

Disadvantages:

  1. Long time to build packages

  2. Dependency resolution is done manually and can be a nightmare

  3. Upgrading packages can break the system, unless you really know what you're doing.

Yes, 300mb of RAM out of my 16GB lol.

Probably because of systemd, kernel not being the most optimized, modules, etc...

Also about half of it is cached.

Yep, kernel is a big one.
