Is there any point for a normal user to compile a custom kernel these days? (lemmy.world)

Up until the early 2000s I used to compile my own kernel, carefully selecting only the options that I needed.

Then I realised that I wasn't saving memory, because almost everything was a module anyway.

Is there any actual benefit to using a custom kernel on consumer hardware that's supported by the stock kernels?

I think that last example was mainlined by now.

Yeah NTSync is in kernel 7.0x
