kernel

Today I’m going to document how I built and installed kernel 4.20.1 a Gentoo laptop, Dell XPS 15 9570. This blog post is not intended to be a tutorial or even a guide. I’m very new to Gentoo, and have been spoiled by Ubuntu and Fedora for not needing to compile my own kernel. :) Anyhow, it’s very likely that I’ll need to compile the kernel again on Gentoo, and therefore I think having some sorts of documents is better than nothing at all....

The other day, my SuSE 10.1 notifies that there were updates available including bug fixes and new kernel. I thought it might be convenient if I just click on select all, and update button. So, I did that and went out to school. When I came back home, the update was nicely done. There was no indication to ask me to restart the computer (as most other OSes do), but I thought it’d be good restart it anyway....
