I had setup two factor authentication in facebook

Now I am not receiving SMS with login code on the registered phone number

Linux From Scratch with XFCE4 and runit init system

You can try Ubuntu 19.04 as it is compiled with latest compilers so performance will be good.

I recently installed Debian and does not have a good opinion about it.

Chroot into the root drive and change the password using passwd.

If After entering your username and password and hitting enter again presents you the login screen the problem might be in the latest version of dbus as most login managers struggle with latest dbus

This based on my experience with several distros

Ubuntu is fast, has best hardware support and easy installer.

Debian is stable, but does not have very best hardware support.

Arch linux lets you install what you want but the installation procedure is somewhat complex.

Fedora is the test field for redhat linux

Manjaro and Anterjos are based on Arch Linux , installation is easy and they are fancy

Last But not the least you can try scientific linux which I haven't used. 

I switch between distors a lot

I don't have a constant daily driver

I haven't used debian before so decided to install it in my laptop with LXQT desktop(which i got to know is not simple at all)

Now I am having weird backlight issues

The brightness is always set to full

And Instead of lowering the brightness of the backlight it seems to be changing the color of every thing in the display to mimick low brightness

Which I noticed when I set the brightness lowest and there seems to be a lot of backlight seeping

You probably run an older gcc (most likely gcc 7). Are you sure it is gcc 9? What does `gcc -v` say?

I ran the command on host gcc 7

Just following the gentoo documentation isn't a bad idea tbh, it's not that difficult once you know what is needed
 
What was the problem? 

I am good with linux from scratch for now 

viewed youtube tutorials but they were outdated and my installation was not going in the same direction a it did on youtube 

and the gentoo documentation is a mess I couldn't understand a single thing

Gentoo gave me one hell of a headache by just viewing its manuals

I could have made another LFS base system with Xorg and wireless network capabilities instead of wasting my entire evening yesterday

I will switch to gentoo If I found a good tutorial in youtube

I will go with -march=skylake because

gcc -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march`

returns broadwell which is older than skylake

Also I want to use runit instead of openrc-init

If you don't want systemd and want to control compilation flags you can use gentoo

Yeah, I thought of using gentoo, but I don't know how to build it.

Once I tried building gentoo but its manual is so much confusing that I quit trying to build it.

Don't. That's not what it's intended for. You get a minimal system that only does the basics so you can learn how a Linux system is typically built. You don't get something you can use effectively out of the box.

 

The architecture you want is probably skylake-avx512 but, as @Chunchunmaru_ pointed out, you can just use "native" to use whatever the compiler thinks is appropriate for your cpu.

I Know that LFS gives only minimal system, but I had Xfce running on the base system and I had built LFS so many times that I know the underlying basics of a Linux system can compile it with ease. Also  I don't want to hand over my pc to systemd. I prefer Xfce the most and want to have absolute control over my system.
