I just saw a DistroTube video with this question. Quite a thought provoking question [for this seasoned distroholic at least].

"What's the hardest Linux distro you've tried?" can be interpreted many ways, and I wonder what kinds of answers we'll get.

Especially these days, with much change underfoot and newer users having a different distrosphere to explore...

What's the hardest Linux distro you've tried?

Probably trying to design and build my own custom distro. There's help like LFS but you still need to read an entire book and learn about a million important decisions to make. I scrapped the idea. It's just hard and then how am I even going to maintain it?

I successfully had a running LFS build.

It booted, I typed in ls / saw my folders, thought it was neat and read up on what would be required to get a GUI up and running, then deleted the partition.
