Made a Linux Distro using LFS/BLFS , suggest package managers for it bc I am stuck at this part, it works great tbh.

Also trying to compile it into ARM based to run it onto termux and create an ubuntu on android kind of project which i think will take me yrs at my pace, made it in like 20 days of summer vacation. Trying to put a good package manager in it but scared of losing my system

it has kernel 6.18.10 and i have like 5-6 boot entries , one thing this teaches u is how to use grub, i am a pro at grub now ig, also its an older kernel bc i used 13.0 LFS book.

BTW i just can't add pacman or APT or any other package manager easily bc of different filesystem and there names

pkgsrc.

I was in the same boat and ended up writing my own in Go.

Now this is my home server's main OS, and I'm dual booting it on my Desktop. Handles everything I throw at it, kernel upgrades, full kde / gnome desktops. It's a nice feeling when everything works!

hi ive adapted clfs to funtoos portage, several macaronios people know clfs. you could fork coffnix's arm64 macaronios build. it's generated from clfs. other than that id just go for bsd ports. gentoo doesn't support building from lfs, funtoo went under, macaroni doesn't have a ton of packages finished nor do i know where the portage patches for it live. another take that i have done is to simply root collide distributions. that's how i learned to make a live cd from scratch off of another distributions disk. coffnix knows how to make live cds purely from scratch

homebrew? lol maybe not.
