Matt McCollowI built a custom Linux kernel from source over the weekend as an experiment/learning exercise. It seemed easier and more straightforward than I recall from the early 00s, which is the last time I would have built a kernel from source. I don't believe the build process has changed much since then, I think I've just gotten better at Linux.
john fink ok!! :goat:@mmccollow ....is it still make menuconfig? I loved make menuconfig
@adr that's still an option, but I installed Qt and did make xconfig, mostly for the nostalgia. When I used to build kernels in the 00s, I usually went with xconfig.
@adr I think part of why it seemed so straightforward was because I asked Claude "How do I build a kernel from source on Debian 13?" then just followed the directions. I didn't have to piece things together from various docs, blogs, forums, etc
@mmccollow shit, you got a Claude subscription?
@adr Nope, just used the free version, which is quite good!
