Any Linux should do with an initial bootstrap build chain, but doing
this in a VM will make a slow process slower.
You could even use a docker container, and pass in a "volume" to use as
the $LFS folder to work from.
`docker run -it --name lfs -v /mnt/data:/data debian:bookworm`

I recommend to folks to run through LFS every few years. It gives a
great insight into how it all stacks together and the complexities that
a packager and distribution work to simplify.

Further, I conceptually reference their "SBU" (Standard Build Units)
calculation for gauging the size of certain packages. This relative
sizing based on whatever your own machine configuration is a great user
experience.
