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.
I was a Gentoo user from 2004 up until last year, when I found my secondary driver in a soft-bricked state due to me not having done any updates on it for about half+ a year.
Switched to Arch Linux and haven’t looked back since. Sure, it will also throw a soft brick at me if I ignore/forget to upgrade, but one of the reasons I refrained from doing it on Gentoo was the compilaton time…

The meme is definitely LFS.
