     this is basically the reason i want out of gentoo. compiling the kernel is a task for when i sleep. but even then i have to manually invoke genkernel to build other initramfs. it takes forever. and then i clean it up afterwards.
     
     honestly, i could just install a binary kernel and my problems would be solved.

     well there are a few more issues:
     
     - some unavailability of packages [they are stuck in testing limbo]
     - emerge takes way too fucking long to update repositories
     
     but honestly thats basically it. which is impressive. i do really like make.conf and other things portage offers.

     I thought there was a binary kernel now?
     
     I haven't updated my kernel config in over 10 years. If I ever need to reboot, I'm like "well might as well upgrade the kernel and see if it works."
     
     `cd /usr/src/linux; cp /proc/config.gz .; gunzip config.gz; mv config.gz .config; make menuconfig; (exit/save); make bzImage modules modules_install`
     
     I hate compiling the kernel too. My default config mostly just works on desktops and not laptops :blobcatcry:

     wasn't sure if you meant the official one (I once used a Ubuntu kernel for work because they required Crowdstrike comparability .. sadly worked better than my custom Gentoo one)

     Why not just "make oldconfig"? 🤔
