Once again #KDE tries to get rid of minority distributions. This time by replacing SDDM with PLM (plasma login manager). PLM depends on systemd.
So sooner or later no KDE for #alpineLinux, #FreeBSD, #Gentoo, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #Slackware, #VoidLinux, etc.

For #BLFS it is no problem as BLFS itself recently discontinued its non-systemd version.

#Linux #From Scratch: #LFS und #BLFS 12.3 veröffentlicht.

LFS steht für Linux From Scratch und bietet seit 1999 eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung zur Erstellung eines Linux-Systems nach eigenen Vorstellungen von Grund auf aus den Quelltexten. Vor einigen Tagen wurden LFS 12.3 und BLFS 12.3 freigegeben. Sowohl LFS als auch BLFS werden in je zwei Varianten – mit und ohne systemd – angeboten.

Display/Window Managers & Desktop Environments

I'm looking at the book and I see that there is the X server , various display and window managers plus the more well known desktop environments like .

The book hints that some of these WM/DMs might be included in things like KDE but I can't seem to figure out which packages I need before following the KDE instructions.

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer la sortie de #LFS et #BLFS 12.2 en français.

fr.linuxfromscratch.org

On a eu un peu plus de mal cette année à la sortir en même temps que la version anglophone à cause du calendrier. Mais moins de 48h, ça passe, non ? :)

Changements notables : mise à jour de KDE5 vers KDE6, suppression de GTK2 et Python2.

À vous de jouer !

I know it's been done before but I decided to make a simple set of package management tools for my / build. I'm just calling it Pkgtools even though I think calls theirs that too (I guess I'm open to suggestions.

They're just simple bash scripts and will end up being a solution backed by an database but I'm excited about the whole process

Installing ( From Scratch) 12.1 has been a blast and a true learning experience. I made it part of the way into before deciding to start completely over to attempt implementation of pkgtools from .

Good times indeed 😁

Have several libraries that are on my list for updating build scripts. It's kind of like #BLFS but cross-platform. Would be curious if anyone else builds their #FLOSS libraries and programs from scratch and if anyone would like to compare notes on doing so. The code I work with seldom compiles out of the box without patches. Would be nice to share steps and patches with others similar to what the BLFS project does. #OpenSource #FOSS #MinGW #C #FreeSoftware

Remember, for those of you building #LFS #LinuxFromScratch

It's but a small part of the puzzle, and is neither complicated (beyond reading) nor is it intense.

Takes about a day to build start-to-fin if you wanna.

But, to truly get the experience, you will need to continue building with a #BLFS systems as well.

warning: When you get to build firefox, you will understand why everyone develops with chromium.

@seperis @Betty #LFS is fine, but it's only a small portion of the puzzle. It takes less than a day to read and build it.

If you want to REALLY understand a linux distro, then you need to do #BLFS as well.

Anyone else done a Linux From Scratch build? I completed one just before I started school at the end of February and now that I’m through with my first term I want to mess it some more. So I’m wondering from #LFS veterans what are some of the first things y’all do from the #BLFS book?
