i have thoroughly happy that i very rarely have any need to compile something from source

that said, i dual boot so it's good to be able to give someone an estimate. "yeah i can play games in like 2 hours" vs "yeah i can play in like 3 days"

Someone needed 15 minutes on 28 CPUs. I have 4 CPUs, so I should expect to take around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

As I was typing that, it finished around the 1 hour 30 minute mark.

I had.to do a git bisect on a kernel a while ago for a gub report.

Compile the linux kernel, install it, reboot. Did it work? Then keep doing that. Like seven times.
