I have a quick question about Linux from Scratch - Can one go through the process on a machine with no OS and a prepared thumb drive? I have a spare laptop right here… (or even an image on Ventoy)

Oh, sorry I guess I was not detailed enough @frongt@lemmy.zip - I have a working desktop Linux system and an unused i7 laptop (whose battery does not charge, btw) 2 machines - I can use the desktop to prepare the thumb drive and the do the work on the laptop.
You can absolutely do that, but I would highly recommend setting up the laptop for SSH access. That way, you can work on your LFS from your main desktop, which will probably be much more comfortable, will allow you to easily copy and paste from the book and so forth.
