So is age 50, and you and your wrinkly crapbox will have jack shit to show for it.

I anticipate that, by working here and there and off and on,
I should be finished with the installation by mid-March 2025.

Make it Christmas 2025 - give yourself some breathing room to install all that hobbyist dreck.

What an asshole.

Now, I can hear all the distro lackeys exclaim: "WTF!  I can
install a GNU/Linux distro in 15 fucking minutes!"
 My answer lies within the common aphorism:
 Rome was not built in a day.
 Rome, the great capital of Western civilization stood for many
centuries.  Such a marvel indeed could not be built in a day.
 The same applies to a GNU/Linux distro.
 Only an ignoramus idiot would be content with what the distros
offer.

Only an incel loser would compile 400 (cr)apps for one computer.

My new machine will replace one that is based on an Intel Core
i7-4770, a CPU which was first released in 2013.  But thanks to
a custom GNU/Linux install, that "old" hardware can rival any
more current machine -- and I have the benchmarks to prove it.

No, you don't.
Plus you'll snivel and whine and dismiss ANY benchmark besides that single SciMark benchmark that proves nothing.
Gentoo is 37% faster my ass.

Rome was not built in a day, and when I am finished my new machine
will beat all comers for many years into the future.

All dressed up and no one to blow.

Microslop Winblows is but the welfare agent for the stupid.
 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Your time would be FAR better spent laying horizontally and blubbering on a psychologist's sofa.
