Turn on my computer, boots super fast. Log in, I'm ready to compute in under a second. No AI in my face.

Thank you Linux.

Linus could do something funny and embed a copy of bonzi buddy with a tux skin in the kernel.

Then maintainers would not add that to their distro or you could easily recompile your kernel without it.

Linux noob: is recompiling your kernel a time consuming task?

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

5 minutes, 26 seconds. Arguably faster than a single Windows update installs.

The last time I had to recompile the Linux kernel was around 2013 or so, and it only took about the time it takes to go take a piss then go smoke a joint.

I'm a patient penguin...

Only gotta do it once for driver issues right?

Maybe? Right?
