I'm using 'mc' on Linux from time to time and total commander on my mobile with the sftp plugin. Still remember Norton from back in the days this way ;-)
I m very happy I started years ago with Gentoo which is also from scratch but with a package manager ones your system is up ( couple of days). You learn so much just starting from zero and understand choices you can make on that journey. In the end I stopped using it though, way later when the Gentoo hype was over though. Getting stuck into dependency loops wasn't productive anymore.
And there I was thinking for a minute it was a language for Bespoke Synth https://www.bespokesynth.com/ A very beautifull visual pleasing sound creator. "Dear Bespoke, Could you create a sound similar to an egg faling on the ground. Please" ... Oh well, maybe in the future...
