    Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)

    I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.

        I think someday I’ll do a gauntlet of Linux installs back to back. Start easy: Ubuntu - Debian - Arch - Nixos - Gentoo - LFS. Not sure if I put Nixos right though. Tbf I’ve already done Debian so maybe I’ll start with Arch.

          That’s a good way to do it. You get a feel for Linux with Ubuntu/Debian, the freedom of choice with Arch, and the customizability of USE flags with Gentoo. I think with LFS you’ll learn package management, but that’s just what I’ve heard. I never got that far.
