I’ve used Gentoo on my main desktop for decades.

Anything else in the house gets Kubuntu on it, 'cause ain’t nobody got time for that.

I went through LFS’ build process three times. By the third time, I felt like I might actually have a clue as to what’s going on. Then I tried build X.org, and discovered what package managers are for. Tried a few “standard” distributions with their binary packages, none of which satisfied my newly discovered control freak tendencies. Ended up settling on Gentoo, been with it ever since.

The meme is definitely LFS.
