    what purpose does this post serve anyone

    Stop using my posts to get attention.

    and why do you keep repeating it

    Stop using my posts to get attention.

    But seriously, folks: this isn't about the same kernel as before -- it
    is a new kernel release, and the posts inform people that a) they are available, and b) that they build without error.

    You might also add -- in my case -- c) they work with the NVIDIA drivers,
    since I won't run these on my workstation with nouveau.

    (Note that these posts are to encourage people to try building the
    vanilla kernel...which isn't for casual users!)

    Good to know. Thanks vallor!
    Might I suggest adding those tidbits to your posts? perhaps as a footer? It's quite informative.

    Best,

    As I have indicated time and time again, building the kernel
    is a simple task. However, CONFIGURING the kernel is the
    important and difficult issue.

    Why bother building a "vanilla" kernel when it is the same thing
    that the distros provide?

    But the distros cannot provide a kernel that is configured specifically
    for ones hardware, and building such a kernel should be the goal of
    all GNU/Linux users.

    Having said that, it is quite useless to build kernel sub-minor versions,
    i.e. 6.14.X unless there is a pressing need, which for the "casual"
    user there is not.

    I'll do that moving forward.

    (I usually mention which NVIDIA binary blob I'm using, but it hasn't
    changed from the release drivers for several iterations.)
