Curious to know the coolest things you achieved by configuring your kernel. I know kernel config can be boring, but I’m hoping someone will have an impressive answer.

For me I have a very lightweight kernel that runs wayland on nvidia without any issues to date.

    I just installed LFS once, which inevitably came with compiling the kernel. Many times, over and over, every time with other configs as some packages required them. For a dual core Dell Laptop from the 2010 it was surprisingly fast, actually. Still not enjoyable or feasible for my normal systems.

    Just download the devel kernel from your distro and go into make menuconfig. I am on an Intel Laptop with recent hardware. No reason to use amd, nvidia etc drivers. And there is a shitload of likely unmaintained drivers for ancient hardware.

        Root on Android is a necessity for me.
        I’ve been rooting all droids I use for the past 10 years or so.

        Imagine using Linux as a power user,
        without being able to use sudo/su.

        Also, Magisk does not just allow any application to access root, you have to manually allow apps to make use of it.

        Just like administrator rights on any other OS,
        things only go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing, and then grant rights to something malicious.
