I understand this completely, because this is how I learn anything, I dive in and I figure it out for myself. When I got into Arch Linux, I was so enthralled by its elegant functionality, that I wanted to understand it well, so I installed originally installed it three different times, to learn the process well. All three of these Arch installations, which are all several years old now, are still running great, having been migrated across several computers, hard drives, and SSDs. I've run into innumerable technical issues over the years, but I always find a solution in the end, with lots of researching, testing, experimenting, tinkering, adjusting, and refining as I go. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Arch is amazing, and the wiki is an amazing resource to learn from, love those guys.
I still remember using a library computer to print a giant stack of papers that was the Linux From Scratch manual, way back in 99', following along and building the whole thing from the ground up and how much I learned from that experience, and not to mention the respect it gave me for people that manage distributions now.
Indeed it is, and the wiki is one of the best in the Linux world (Gentoo's was excellent too before their server crashed). Arch is the perfect balance between DIY and automation.
Dude, I've thought about doing that so many times! I give you mad props on LFS, as well as for your method of getting the manual! I've learned so much just working with Arch, so I can imagine the many magnitudes more learning when building the whole thing from the ground up. Ditto that on respect for those who run distributions, some of which have continued on for decades. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
