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.

Fun times. Always keep a fallback kernel installed. Even if you’re not compiling your own.
I had to learn what chroot is when I borked my own kernel compile and there wasn’t fallback.
