Installing Linux distros is no longer giving me the high I desire. At first I started with Xubuntu and when I installed it I got a rush, when that wasn't enough I moved to Arch and after installing it from the command line my brain was flooded with dopamine, it was great. However Arch is no longer giving me that craving. So I moved to BSD. I started with BSD and boy, installing it was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Once finished I ran Screenfetch and just seeing that logo, which most people don't have, I was there.

After BSD what should I move onto? Gentoo? The more lines of code flashing on my monitor the better.

Gentoo is code scrolling seizure
Especially once you start unpacking your tarballs

LFS is the final boss of Linux distributions, I love it.

>>54467260
OP here, where do I download the ISO live cD?
>>
>>54467336
if you can't find that out by yourself..
>>
>>54467336
LFS is different. You install a host distribution like Debian and build the entire thing from scratch, compiling a base system. It's pretty cool.

I don't feel comfortable running a mail server on my home network. Nor do I feel like setting it up.

i never understood why people change their linux distro every week. ive been using linux mint and xubuntu for several years now. and ive never changed.

they do everything i want.

how can a lot of people here on /g/ switch so frequently? isnt it such a hassle changing all the time? how do you get any work completed?

>isnt it such a hassle changing all the time?

not so much if you have a separate /home partition
>>
>>54467534
What about all your configuration shit in /etc

Gentoo. You'll literally never switch.

>>54467200
OS X. Then move on to OpenDarwin. It's like bsd but even more fucked.
