   i would like to be able to run linux and not have kernel build times take more than an hour, albeit that's definitely asking for a lot

     well i'd like to at least not be reliant on gcc, this openbsd system doesn't have gcc and it works great with all of the traditional practices from the unixes of old

     @gentoobro i guess i could go around menuconfig disabling shit like firewire support or whatever, is that what you mean by slim?

     Run a slim kernel. Mine builds in about 20 minutes on a Ryzen 1600 potato.

     Every single driver and feature that you don't actually use. Most of the kernel bloat is a bunch of default-included drivers and modules for hardware that you don't even have. Also make everything compiled-in, not modules, where possible (a few things need to be modules for good reason, like sound drivers).

     Also don't use an initrd if you can manage.

     @gentoobro initrd definitely makes the entire process take like 10 times as long but living without it will be a bit more than difficult, will just leave that in

     Do you have critical system directories on zfs or something?

     @gentoobro no, just can't imagine how booting chinux would be like without the initrd
