Without the need to compile it here, it took only about 3 minutes to install
and reboot the machine. ;)

$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 6.16.5-arch1-1 (linux@archlinux) (gcc (GCC) 15.2.1 20250813, GNU
ld (GNU Binutils) 2.45.0) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 04 Sep 2025 23:18:13

I must say, though, that 17 minutes for a kernel is getting a lot better now
than the days of old, where it would take hours or even days. I remember glibc
specifically, starting the compile before bed, wake up, go to work, come home
and it was still compiling, only to fail at the end. It was absolutely
irritating, and probably around the time I switched from Gentoo to Archlinux
many years ago. ;)

I don't work for my PC, it works for me!

Regards,
Nick
