Wow, just now seeing this topic. I work for a cloud company hosted in AWS. We started out, Netflix/Spotify style microservices. We were all on ec2 images generate by packer (and later with AWS Image Factory). When Docker hit, we kicked the tires but never did anything with it beyond using it for running unit tests, and later, infrastructure tests. 5 years ago, during a hackathon, our little group began...

> Why not? Most people won't spend the time to learn OS/distro building. I don’t know how good they are and have never used any, but there’s tooling for building the ultimate stripped down kernel, unikernels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel) A quick Google gives me https://nanovms.com/, https://github.com/solo-io/unik and https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Great entrant in the space that is actually usable: https://www.unikraft.org Promising project that's inactive but was one of the first ones I found with reasonable ergonomics and no lock-in to a specific language that I didn't use: https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun Unfortunately it looks to be unmaintained as of now, but I expect the examples still work etc (https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun/issues/135). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Then there is the rumprun unikernel (that runs on qemu and baremetal x86), the sources of which you can find here https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun (and some more projects in the github org: https://github.com/rumpkernel). These projects have not been actively maintained for many years. Source: almost 3 years ago

Gentoo is not primarily an educational tool, whereas Linux From Scratch is. Source: 12 months ago

I have broken my linux mint 19.3 cinnamon installation while attempting lfs (I believe while attempting this). Now, whenever I boot up my system, I am met with a terminal that says:. Source: about 1 year ago
I'm daily driving Gentoo GNU/Linux (https://gentoo.org). I prefer it over other GNU/Linux distributions because it allows me to customize the operating system down to a lower level. I'm also planning on installing Linux From Scratch (https://linuxfromscratch.org) for educational purposes. However, I might end up daily driving it. I do extremely difficult and tedious activities on my computer just for fun and I... Source: about 1 year ago
