From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

LFS is great, I started with it 25 years ago (not joking, it was GCC 2.9 time)
But quickly discovered Gentoo and been there since that time. LFS is not maintainable, Gentoo is the good of LFS plus perfect maintainability.
Never actually tried LFS but I have done Gentoo from stage 1 (back when that was an option), so I'm going to use your statement as an indication I can skip LFS 😁
I did Gentoo from stage 1 too back in the day, it's was a valuable learning experience for me, and those skills helped me to fix things when they went wrong down the track.
