its reason for existing is pretty simple really: linux from scratch is a fun hobbyist thing, but too difficult for a lot of people. so what if you made linux from scratch except you didn't do anything from scratch?
In other words you downloaded a bunch of other people's code and built it with canned scripts?

bro the first time i installed lunix I hAd to download a weird proggy for writing a boot image to a floppy and also calculate the partition sizes with a pencil and paper. If it's your first time out you should use enterprise distribution DVDs which are like that Simpsons episode where fat Homer monitors the power plant from home. if those don't work for you it's probably because you bucked the defaults or are just dumb

Anywhere I go I'm virtually guaranteed to have stArted using lunix before any other dev and lol if u think that isn't valuable

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called `Linux', and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called `Linux' distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Stallman literally wants to incorporate every program that interoperates electronically with GNU software as part of GNU, and has his lawyer looking for ways to do so

the best thing about gentoo was trying to emerge openoffice on a pentium 166

that thing would compile for a week straight before failing spectacularly because the gentoo beginners guide encourages you to gently caress up your compiler flags

Same. Very educational way to spend a lot of time though. E.g. during a stint of unemployment.

You will learn exactly that is is bad because of this:
