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?

    It is not a distribution, but when you build your own Linux from Scratch, it will become your own distribution - thus it is distribution!

      No, your distribution is the distribution. Your distribution doesn’t make Linux from Scratch into one. Let’s say I think your distribution is the best one for me. That does not mean another distribution created with the help of the documentation found at Linux from Scratch the best one too. Those are two different distributions. Linux from Scratch remains the documentation how to create one.

      It’s like finding a video tutorial how to program your own program a little game. The video tutorial doesn’t become a game, it remains documentation how you write your own game. That’s comparable situation with Linux from Scratch (in relation to our discussion).

        You just asserted elsewhere in this thread, that it’s not debatable. … Seemed like you were already putting forth debate arguments a day ago here.

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

                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.
