Does anyone know if anything similar exists for Windows? Of course it would be hard due to the closed nature of it, but a similar in-deth look into Windows internals would be much appreciated for a UNIX guy like me.

For Windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/resources/win...
and for Mac/iOS: https://newosxbook.com
Those are official sites, the books themselves can also be found elsewhere if you get my meaning.

Installing LFS is a ritual, a manifestation of the belief in free software. In order to affirm allegiance to the corporate world, installing Windows 11 with all telemetry enabled and an online account might be more appropriate.

#19It's been around two decades since I last did an LFS install, but I still find the knowledge I gained to be useful to understanding how boot loaders, the kernel, init systems, etc. work today—not just bare metal and VMs, but also in containerized environments.

#20Building LFS was probably the best single learning experience I've ever had! I built it in highschool and got credit for an independent learning project. Taught me a lot of things that turned out to be useful in finding myself a career.
