Why haven't you compiled your own linux kernel, /g/? Do

because i use macOS where i dont have to deal with that kind of dumb stuff

>>60892732
There's already a kernel specifically for my hardware

>>60892732
It still only loads drivers for what it detects

>>60892732
>hundreds of MB's
Wrong

>>60892766
Because you can only run the hardware your corporate overlords approve of, so there's no point.

>>60893475
could you be any more wrong?
>what is hackintosh

>>60893502
shit

>>60893518
wrong again
you aren't very good at this, anon

>>60892732
most drivers are only compiled as modules, which are only loaded when required
not compiling them only saves on compile time and disk space

You can rmmod those hundreds of MBs of unnecessary shit to get picrelated.

>>60892732
It sounds like alot of work figuring out what all I need rivers for and then figuring out how to only compile it to use only the things I needed

I fucking hate anime

Linux is shit. Let's talk about interesting systems for once.

EDIT: Thanks for the gold!

I did when I had a Pentium 3 due to hardware support.
Never needed to do it again because it just works.

>>60892732
where do i find the linux-hardened kernel for arch source code?
I wanna compile my kernel, but I still want the linux-hardened features

I like being able to update without having to meddle with config files first.
