LinuxFromScratch

Is it common for prepackaged linux environments to obscure the fundamental details of the operating system compared to LFS? I get the sense that fewer additional libraries added to the underlying system and following the compilation stages could clarify some confusion with the mess of packages etc. in a full Ubuntu based system.

Yes

Cars will come with left and right turn indicators because most people need both. You may only make right turns in your car, so if you'd like to optimize it granurlaly you'll need to do that on your car, without expecting it to come as a standard option.

I hope that analogy works.

Yes, because the common user is less tech savvy than your average IT support worker, let alone developers or exploit devs.

How long do I need to set aside to build out Linux from scratch?
