Have you ever built one before? I've looked into it and it's not a trivial thing.
and now you have me starting a build.... I was going to play games tonight so thanks!
I'm sorry & you're welcome?
Yes
Now you can return the favor. Can you point me at a step-by-step tutorial for building a ROM? I'd like to be able to choose what's included and what's not, etc. I don't really have any special use case, so do you think it's worth the effort to make my own?
No but I have compiled firmware for keyboards, managed to go completely off script and deploy Lemmy using a custom compose and unsupported proxy, and im half decent at using linux.
I like to joke that im the tech equivalent of 1000 monkeys with keyboards, eventually I figure it out :)
It's not trivial but not as hard as I thought, at least last time I tried it. The absurd amount of disk space the build environment requires, along with the time to actually clone it it, is probably the most annoying part.
