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?

    And we’ll need to tell distrowatch they’re doing it wrong, and they’re not allowed to to allow distros distinguish their LFS origins from independent origins.

    I think you don’t understand the issue. Those listed distributions are no longer LFS (based). Based on means they take a distribution and build a new one out of it, like Ubuntu and Debian or Achlinux and SteamOS. But you can’t base on LFS, because you build a new distribution based on the information. Dude are you trolling or don’t you even know what you say? You completely changed the meaning of what I said. It doesn’t even make sense to say based on LFS as a distribution. What Distrowatch lists are distributions created with the help of LFS, its not based on LFS…

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

      And you’re just stating things that are plain wrong, and already evidenced to the contrary of your claims.

      You have not a leg to stand on, yet keep doubling down and avoiding the questions.

        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.

                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.

                    Arguably, no one does.
