Linux comes with a built-in firewall, you only have to set it up, its Antivirus we do not usually installI thought Linux did not require these as it is immune to viruses.

Several posters in this thread mentioned "linux from scratch" but I don't think @rohanbari was interested in that but rather about "learning from scratch"Linux from Scratch is a great learning tool, but you may want to learn at a bit slower rate while using your machine with a regular distro first
Yes, you are quite right. A little misunderstanding, but it's okay.Several posters in this thread mentioned "linux from scratch" but I don't think the @rohanbari was interested in that but rather about "learning from scratch"
Seems like misunderstanding, no?
You are so supportive! I guess I'll take the challenge.
I did not imagine this community to be this quick at replies and nice in behavior.
You're welcome-Thanks Alexzee to motivate me. I'm feeling like I have got my true Linux family here. Not a Lone Wolf anymore.
I won't hesitate to ask any relevant question regarding my Linux journey. Thanks!
Heh. I guess you're referring to 'Hazel', yes? One of the regulars over at Linux.org, as I recall.There are plenty of people who are willing to put the work in and do their own Linux versions. One that springs to mind, for those who would be surprised, is that there's an elderly lady who uses LFS - at least one of them.
Being 'of age' myself, I was surprised to learn this. She's a regular poster on another forum. I wasn't surprised that she could, but that she would. I too am pretty old. I'd rather spend my time elsewhere. That was what surprised me.

Her 3 main distros are LFS, NixOS......and Gentoo, of all things.
D'ohh!! My bad; I meant LinuxQuestions.org, of course....Yes, except you're on linux.org where she's decidedly not a regular. Though, I'd avoided specifics regarding their name as I didn't want to 'put them out there'.
I have over 6K bookmarks that are about technical stuff all nicely sorted into sub-folders for easy find.
lol, you have more?Only 6,000?
I guess this is how I learned programming through Stack Overflow!What helped me most in "learning Linux" was answering questions. Back in the day we would hang out in IRC and forums and just look at what people were asking, then googling around trying to find the answer. The discuss with the community.
My initial issue was not knowing in which direction to go, so I just had other people present me with problems. Pick any new thread in the forum thats a bit above your level and try to solve it.
Well, I have about 6,000 I don't need anymore. Maybe more. I'm done with the Giant now. The only things I'll keep have to do with Bios/UEFI that I found in forums for the slave driver.lol, you have more?
maybe we can exchange them?
For me, I usually hear about something that sparks my interest. I want to know more so I start looking around the internet. Eventually, I can see all of the seemingly unrelated things in some way or another affect each other, triggered a new version, resulted in... On and on. When I stumble on things related to other things I already devoured, I need to look up less. And then I start to see how everything comes around full circle.I guess this is how I learned programming through Stack Overflow!
Back in lockdown, I was online on Stack Overflow (as a member) and mostly answered the questions users posted about C, C++, VB.Net, and VS Code. The majority of the posts contained things I did not know of.
I used to Google, and Stack Overflow about sub-topics related to the problem, read and find in books, etc.
Now I see it is the same applicable for working with Linux.
I sincerely appreciate this topic and the responses on the thread. I will like to get on LFS, and I want to know if I can do all of it in a VM or I must get a separate computer to try every lesson on.
