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?

No one here agrees to your definition.

Which does not change facts of being true or false.

I don't think you understand how definitions work.

It might be false according to your definition, but not anyone else's.

It looks like you're prepared to die on this hill though, so you do you.

Just because you define something doesn't make it correct. I think you don't know what a Linux distribution is. There is no definition in where LFS is a Linux distribution.

I disagree. You may have a definition which excludes it, but clearly most people don't.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

This isn't a question of definition. LFS cannot be installed as an operating system that distributes the Linux Kernel. It is a PDF or HTML document describing how you build a distribution. It's like giving me a book in the hand that describes every detail how to build a car, by melting metal and building the motor. And then calling the book is a car. That has nothing to do with definition, if you don't even know what a car is (here a distribution of Linux Kernel in an operating system).

Don't talk about most people if you don't know yourself what you are talking about.
