It was important to do years ago, it's useless now. Except if you want
to have issues with some drivers, there is no need to do it. For a

wouldn't consider a distro who requires me to compile anything to be
serious. It's a useless waste of time and ressources. On an embedded
device, sure it's important, but not on a desktop.

You needed two and a half minutes, to do it, yes. So, when a new kernel
comes out, it comes with new options. Which have defaults. And the only
possibility to update your kernel in two minutes and thirty seconds is
to let the defaults.

Using "make oldconfig" I can set all new options in less than

If I were considering moving to Linux, for the first time, it's
Stéphane's advice I'd be interested in, not yours.  This is a group to
advocate the use of Linux.  Your posts are a disservice.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
