@kernellogger I live in hope that one day I'll be yelled at by Linus

@kernellogger Hmm 🤔 I like what Linus is saying in spirit, but personally I think there's already a tremendous barrier to entry - kconfig asks about thousands of devices and features that normal users aren't familiar with. I suppose it's still worth trying not to make the problem worse than it is, but IMO we are long past the point where kernel configuration could be considered anything approaching user-friendly for all but the most dedicated users. (this is most assuredly a non-expert opinion) Thanks for sharing!

@kernellogger Normal users don't build their own kernel.
