@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net @er1n is there a reason to do this other than masochism?

@squirrel @er1n @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net you want to understand operating systems better, and don't intend to use it as an actual OS so much as a learning OS, maybe?

@lizardsquid @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net @er1n but if you're not doing any coding just compiling other people's code in a more inconvenient way are you really learning about OSes or are you just learning how to put a kit together

@squirrel @er1n @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net I dunno! Personally, I'd rather spend time messing around with my NixOS configuration

@squirrel @lizardsquid @wxcafe the point isn't to teach how to design an OS at the code level
it's more a good tool for learning all the twisty bits of how Linux systems are actually put together
helped me a lot with knowledge of how *nix systems are laid out and behave
