I (also) learned about "Linux From Scratch" (LFS) from KernelNewbies:

https://kernelnewbies.org/RelatedSites

I've been playing with computers since ~1994, but I have degenerating
cognitive issues that keep me functioning as a perpetual, capable
newbie. Linux From Scratch is written in such a way that I've been
able to follow along those times I've... remembered to stop and play
with it. I thank its author(s) for that! :)
