    Saving this for later when a need to get massive levels of frustration, so massive that I will be punching my screen, arises. (Can’t wait!)

      Configuring and building the Linux kernel is actually pretty nice and easy. The main thing that’s frustrating in my experience is just if you need to add a kernel module for a new device or something. It’s not really a big deal, just like “oh, I need to enable the drivers for this”.

        I often look around the kernel config, maybe I’m there to add support for something or whatever. Then I start reading the help snippet, and I understand next to nothing. Ok… “If in doubt, select ‘n’”. What? No, I am in doubt, but I want the feature! Don’t try to scare me away :-)
