But where are you going to plug it?

In your ass.

Holy moley!  Your kernel must contain HUNDREDS of modules that you NEVER
have a need to use.

Yes, and the good part is: as Linux is modular, if a module isn't
needed, it's never loaded. So it takes only a few space on the hard
drive and nothing more. It's simplicity without inefficiency. What
do you get with your computer? From some other of your messages, it's
clear: difficulty and failure. I won't switch my efficient computer with
your brick disguised as a computer.
