There are certain things you can only truly learn by doing. I remember doing Linux From Scratch over a weekend and the depth of linux that I still understand to this day.

Thanks for the writeup. A more granular followup would be cool too.

The depth of running configure, make, make install? If you want depth in Linux I recommend looking at its source repository and reading the documentation or code. Or in the current times asking AI to help explain it to you.

You may not build your daily system that way afterwards, but the mental model sticks

Except in this case he vibe-coded it
