I have been using Arch for five years and I think I would like to call myself at least a progressive beginner when it comes to Linux, computers and networking, to be humble. 🤣

I would like to “move on” to Gentoo or LFS to force myself to learn more[1]. Please share your pros and cons for switching to any one of these approaches.

Use case: a gaming rig (using nvidia’s proprietary drivers and an AMD CPU) on one system and a server on a separate system.


  1. This was my main incentive for switching to Arch a long time ago, and it worked! ↩︎

    LFS is not a distro, it’s a book that teaches you how to build a Linux system from the ground up.

    By all means do it at least once because you can learn a lot from it, but it’s not meant to be used as a daily driver, unless you have nothing else to do in your life than keeping it maintained.
