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?

You’re free to interpret LFS as not a distro. That too is within the remit of open to interpretation.

It's not. LFS is not an operating system. Just because you state its free to interpretation doesn't make it free. It's not. It's like if you said "its free to interpret if our sun is actually not a star, but in reality it is an asteroid".

I wonder why you’re so insistent on only your interpretation of the question

I'm not insisting my interpretation, I explain to you what LFS is. Because it is not an interpretation, its' a definition. What do you think the worlds "operation system" and "distribution" means? Do you know the difference between what an operating system and a book is?
