## What it is
A set of shell scripts that automatically download, patch, and compile custom Linux kernels (version 5.4 and newer) with a selection of desktop and gaming-oriented patches. Patches and build options are configurable via a config file or an interactive install script, with support for Arch, DEB/RPM, Gentoo, and generic distributions.

## Use cases
- build a custom linux kernel with gaming patches
- compile the linux kernel with a tuned cpu scheduler
- patch my kernel for better desktop responsiveness
- build a kernel optimized for zen CPUs
- install a custom kernel on arch linux
- reduce kernel build time with fewer modules
- try sched-ext schedulers on my kernel

## When to choose
- you want a pre-patched kernel tuned for desktop or gaming workloads
- you need fine-grained control over kernel config, scheduler, and compiler options
- you run Arch or another supported distro and want automated kernel builds

## When to avoid
- you just want a stock distro kernel without maintenance overhead
- you lack the disk space (20-25GB+) or time to compile kernels
- you need guaranteed stability and vendor support rather than experimental patches

## Facets
