This LFS-ish project has gone beyond just being a documentation of my LFS journey, beyond just “replacing gnu with musl+llvm”. I’ve already reset once and I don’t want to reset again, so I’m splitting the project in two. One side will remain as my original LFS journey, musl+llvm (uutils too) only, no dinit or rc or redesigned directory structures (there’s an unreleased blog post explaining this one, but to all the discord folks, you already know what I’m talking about). Just as I intended for the series to be since the beginning, a personal exploration into LFS, done my way.

The other one, Icarus himself, will continue to soar. It will contain every improvement I can think of, divorced from the shackles of my LFS journey, and able to be designed not specifically because I think it’ll be fun, but because I think it’ll be better. I’ll likely base this more closely off of something like Chimera Linux or the downstream EweOS, since the direction those projects are going is one I want to follow. This will include all of the proposed changes that I think personally bring Linux onto a path I think is better for its future, personally anyways. Chimera Linux especially is a direction that’s the future of Linux in my opinion, but you’re all welcome to disagree, just be nice <3

Oh and I think I’ve finally got a good name for the project, so welcome the brainchild I’ve been constructing in the past week,

Icarus.
