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?

I think you don’t understand “open to interpretation”.

I think you don't understand that there is no interpretation. LFS is by definition and by logic not a distribution of Linux. Its not debatable or to interpret.

So all the other people who interpreted the question, and the word "distro" in the question, in a manner that led them to answer LFS, are not just wrong to have interpreted it so, but... I'm sorry, I'm still struggling to get my head around your world view, how this is squared away, where there's an internal logical consistency. [Edit: "no interpretation"? So what was it they all did?]

If it's not debatable, how then did we arrive here?

See... its like you're not even in reality. Reminds of NPD. Stating things as true or not true, contrary to what's immediately evident. Like your failing efforts at saving face lead you to just try double-down harder, even further removed from awareness and reality. The ignorance that dies is not you. There's no threat to you here. You can entertain an idea. It wont hurt.

I am not debating with you if LFS is a distribution or not, I teach you that its not.

I teach you that its not

Let me know when that starts.

You said yourself you don't know and still don't want to learn from someone who knows it and teaches you. If you don't want to learn, then you are not able to debate in any way and lock up yourself in a circle like this discussion.

You've accused me of doing what you're doing now. I smell DARVO. Putting words in my mouth. Slow down, read a little more carefully. I did not say I do not know any of the things you've just asserted. I'm leaning towards this not just being an honest misinterpretation, and seems more like you're just seeking loosh. Bye.

Wrong. You said nobody knows what a distribution is, which at least includes yourself. So you told me directly that you don't know what that means.

Edit: From this reply of yours (before any edit): https://lemmy.ml/post/53349438/28101050

Arguably, no one does.
