      It’s that pesky root user, right? There’s loads of their files on my system. I can’t edit any of them. Don’t know why they are so protective.

        Linux From Scratch is a series of (online) books that walk you through building up your own linux system from the ground up, from compiling the kernel to all the individual systems that turn the kernel into a functional OS.

        It’s meant to be an educational tool to help people learn about what goes into making a Linux distribution and give you better knowledge of how to build software from source. Some people turn these systems into their own distributions or personal (I guess gentoo-like?) Linux installs

        Not only can you make your own OS but you can use one of the package managers and build your own repo and do a whole ecosystem yourself.

        I used LFS to build a distro for embedded systems I designed at work. Was a fun experience but way too much work.
