Wow am I so old that this isn’t a normal thing anymore?
Most of the time the kernel is built by distro packaging these days, you're really only down and dirty with it if you need to patch the source yourself.
I haven't done it in ages, but from what I remember, there wasn't anything much to it.
Nah it’s pretty straight forward. Just telling the compiler what to compile in for your situation and then compile. Sure you can compile in kernel modules you will never see in binary builds but in today’s hardware it’s nearly pointless.
