Although honestly, these days we could probably do it in about 2 minutes, blindfolded, with our hands tied behind our backs. Damn, the tools have gotten better, haven’t they?
This is a fact and a half. Ihave been using linux on and off for a headless Minecraft server. Vanilla Debian. Yesterday I decided to load up the latest Ubuntu lts, to run stable diffusion. My first end user linux install in ages. And it was a 15 minute seamless experience. From boot ISO to running a normal functioning desktop. Add another hoiur and stable diffusion was up and running. A far cry from building slackware from, from source, in the early 2000s. It truly is amazing when we consider what has been achieved.
That could be fun. I am just amazed at how far the ecosystem has come. Just for kicks I tried getting steam up and running and got fallout 76 running through their compatibility tools in no time i knew the steam deck pushed that along, but did not realise exactly how far it has been pushed. Itay be time to give it a run again as a daily driver.

Don’t worry, there’s still Gentoo and LFS if you’re a Linux masochist.
