"ditched that many years ago" sounds like a decade or two ago. I haven't needed to compile a kernel for at least 20 years. The module system works very well now. I already knew Apollo Domain, SunOs, HPUX, and various other SysV and BSD variants of Unix so my learning curve for Linux was non-existent.
Windows suck. I long ago left it. Microsoft is a controlling mind.
