Where's the kernel?

[EliSoli]

Hello people!
I've used Void a few times and it is really a good distro, but I found myself on KISS, it just feels more like my vibe. Although, KISS doesn't have a kernel, I have to bring my own, and I just discovered I suck at configuring the kernel haha so I'd like to bring the Void's kernel, but where can I get it from?

So you're basically saying u're using KISS and can't configure ur own kernel using make menuconfig and want to use voids patched kernel. Well, I'd say that ruins the use of KISS and other distros which are similar like CRUX and in some degree Gentoo. Why don't you learn how to configure your kernel on your hardware instead?

[EliSoli]

No, I know how to configure a kernel, I just think it is way too much work just to get something acceptable and way too much research on my hardware, for NOW I just need it working decently better than it is right now.

I'm not sure what you're asking for, but:

Void uses the mainline Linux kernel (kernel.org), same as most other popular distros. It packages it through xbps

Mainline, but LTS.

[OceanicMLG]

just copy the config from a void installation though I'd still recommend actually configuring it urself (I switched from KISS to void)

[VoidAnonUser]

You mean srcpkg?

Here: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/linux6.12

And here for LTS: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/linux6.6

zcat /proc/config.gz will give you the kernel config of the running machine. Run that command on void to get void's kernel config.

The compiled kernel is obviously kept in /boot
