The second edition of the Linux for You Guide (LX4, LX4U) has been published, offering instructions on building a standalone Linux system using only the source code for the required software. The project is an independent offshoot of the LFS (Linux From Scratch) manual, but does not use its source code. The user can choose from multilib, EFI support and a set of additional software for more convenient system setup. The developments of the project are hosted on GitHub under the MIT license.
Major changes:
- Migration to mkdocs static content generation platform (formerly docsify.js was used). As a result of the transition, it became possible to generate a PDF version of the manual. In addition, the web version of the manual works correctly in console browsers like links and w3m;
- As an option, it is proposed to use the classic file system hierarchy, in which the directories "/bin", "/sbin and "/lib" are not symbolic links to "/usr/{bin,sbin,lib}";
- Multiple edits and adjustments to the text of the entire manual;
- Thanks to community feedback, clarifications and clarifications have been made in many sections.
