It's spring time, which means it's time for me to get bored with the operating system on my daily driver and start to re-investigate my options.  The oncoming onslaught of age verification laws that look like they were written by badly trained AI is also helping preempt this thought, since Linux distributions will of course be forced to react in some manner.

I'm currently running Project Bluefin, which is an opinionated variation of the Universal Blue project.  I'm a fan, and I'm not investigating change because of anything holding me back in the current front.

Ground rules:

Boosts welcome.  It'll be a fun time.

I wanna set some #polygowgoals for this month:

1. I wanna start #linuxfromscratch
2. I wanna finish this one tutorial on modelling in #blender
3. I wanna start learning how to draw
4. I want to finish a book by the end of the month.

Tomorrow I'll make a spreadsheet to help me track these

#linuxfromscratch installation completed

Yes #UEFI is still in BLFS.
That's very very BAD in 2026

The only "big" problem in Chi's run was https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/systemd/postlfs/efivar.html

the patch that's needed so it builds clean with glibc 2.43 can be found here

https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/pull/292.patch

all in all https://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/13.0-systemd-rc1/ seems to be in good shape

#linux #efivar #glibc

About to go on a train with Chi and B.

Chi decided to learn Linux by building Linux from Scratch.

The next stable release will have systemd so that sounds like a good idea

Is UEFI boot still in BLFS?

I guess we'll know soon enough

Got a a brand new VM on the laptop ready to go.
Tarballs and patches downloaded and the latest Gentoo Live image downloaded.

We have about 4 hours to kill so that should almost get her there.

I'll report back how it went.
