Thanks a bunch! Nice video, nice tips! Most people think that Gentoo takes too long because of the compiling, but they don't realize that when you have plenty RAM, you can compile in TMPFS. Might be a good thing to explain, because it'll save your SSD from too many cycles while compiling and speeds things up considerably.

What I needed, another five hours of hunting down installers on Google.

Everyone always talks about optimizing the config for your hardware, but I’ve found it pretty difficult to find any sort of decent guides on that. Like what Intel branded technologies are still necessary on a ryzen system because they’re shared and vice versa, or what you can and can’t/should and shouldnt build into the kernel or leave as a module. Had a lot of issues the first time I tried customizing my kernel cause I had tried to just build in everything I knew was necessary for hardware built into the laptop, which ended up causing problems and an unusable kernel. Got grub configured right though so it was easy enough to dodge the fallout but it still wasn’t the best experience, since I had no way to know that building that stuff in would break it
@saltyowl3229

@Nicolás Agustín Of course, and I do, but some things are unclear and require a lot of searching to figure out what technologies are in use by what hardware. I don't think any of my attempts were broken due to disabling things I shouldn't have, but purely because I tried to bake things into the kernel that had no warning saying they couldn't be. It's just tedious having to check each individual option online, was wondering if there might be a good set of guides anywhere.

Thanks for the video. Not sure why your thumbnail says "hacking"... this is not hacking. :) This is editing the build configuration and compiling a kernel. Back in the early/mid 90s I did it several times a week, because kernel updates were usually significant and they came fast and heavy. (It was also painful, taking about 8 hours on a 33mhz 486 with 4M RAM.) And I am certainly no kernel hacker. Kernel hackers... edit/write code.

I just want to edit the .config file to enable /proc/config so i can install a read/write UFS module. I tried to use make oldconfig to keep my current working config settings, yet nothing is working. 8 hours staring at compiling and trying again is soooo frustrating.
