Curious to know the coolest things you achieved by configuring your kernel. I know kernel config can be boring, but I'm hoping someone will have an impressive answer.

For me I have a very lightweight kernel that runs wayland on nvidia without any issues to date.

Filesystem level encryption enabled on RHEL. For some damn reason, they turn it off in their kernel.

I'm running a custom kernel on my Arch laptop. It's a little faster, a little smaller and a little quite more secure. I'm also running custom kernel which enables adiantum encryption on old phone with postmarketOS.

A kernel that fits my hardware and supports things the original kernel doesn't. Then again, i use gentoo.

What did the original kernel not support?

Having / on ZFS, but that went into an initrd i think... don't remember, but not hardware related.

Better access to tools like ebpf and xdp.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
