It’s not really a big deal, but I am currently writing this using a linux kernel I compiled from source, which certainly feels like an accomplishment. The Arch Wiki has made the process fairly easy to follow. I just took the stock Arch Linux configuration without changes for now.

The most important part of this is of course that I have the option to do that, to take the source code of this incredible project and build my own kernel binary.

    Yes, that was my experience as well. And of course there is the added tension that if you mess up somehow your system might become unbootable.
