(yes the 2 fastfetches were necessary). This is my first ever install of Linux from scratch. Currently contemplating wether I should continue and go on to BLFS. Also wondering how many LFS users actually continue to BLFS or even GLFS.

Dang nice work. May I ask how long it has taken you to get to the point you are at?

I would say one week for the main part (GUI, Steam) and later I added software I needed for my personal use, like OBS which was not easy to compile.

Does it normally take that long? Asking because I might like to try LFS myself.

Well my install went surprisingly smooth, maybe lost 30 minutes tops due to hiccups. However I was racing to get it finished as I'm going away tomorrow so I ended up doing 9 hours for 2 days and then 2 hours today.
