Any #NixOS users building a custom #kernel?
The #Linux kernel is crazy huge, I would like to start tweaking my system by using a custom kernel
- longterm 6.12 as base (less hassle, more stable)
- intel only (no amd, nvidia, wifi card drivers etc)
- modern-ish hardware only (no obscure old keyboard drivers etc)
- O3 optimizations (I think they generally make sense on an i7-11th gen)
Do you got good resources to start with this?
