[23:15:47] <exec> 08└─Isn't the kernel modular? Now the last time I read about this, and compiling kernels, was in about 1997 as I was studying Linux. In June 1999 I finally got my first Linux box and never looked back. As I understood things at that time, kernel modules could be omitted, compiled into the kernel, or com...

[23:16:09] <exec> 08└─Absolutely. This machine (very old hardware) is running Gentoo and a 4.19.97 kernel, with everything I need, and pretty much nothing more, compiled directly into the kernel with the exception of a few modules: du -sh /boot/kernel-4.19.97-gentoo /lib/modules/4.19.97-gentoo/ 4.2M /boot/kernel-4.19.97...

[23:16:13] <exec> 08└─It would seem to me that having all of the kernel modules available on disk has no significant penalty. It merely costs disk space. Nothing more. If you plug in a new hardware item, you already have a driver immediately ready to use. That's convenience. Or alternately, go through a Windows-like expe...

Which is essentially what's going on with race. There isn't a clean wa...
