LFS is not an operating system. It's a book.

Linux From Scratch
Book by Gerard Beekmans
Linux From Scratch is a type of a Linux installation and the name of a book written by Gerard Beekmans, and currently mainly maintained by Bruce Dubbs. The book gives readers instructions on how to build a Linux system from source

got me.

Should be called GLFS, since only a chapter is actually about Linux, the rest is about building a GNU system.

It is called Linux from Scratch because it shows you how to compile your own version of the Linux operating system.

Anyone having problems with sound on Firefox on void? It works on any other browser and on files. I have tried everything and cant think of anything else.

im new to arch linux
I got 'most', my favored pager, and I meant to remove 'less', the default one. I assumed things that loosely depended on it would make an automatic switch, like debian does. I figured there were just some configuration files or something, idk, but removing less doesnt seem to work.

halp plz
