What if there was a Linux kernel that wasn't only built with AVX2 optimizations but also has any code stripped out that is irrelevant to most users?

I know the kernel is full of stuff irrelevant to 99% of users. Even if you could disable some of it, wouldn't it be optimal to just remove all the superfluous stuff entirely?

I think you'd be better off on Windows 11 sar

It isn't.
The only "irrelevant" things are drivers, which are almost always kernel modules already.

This already exists, it's called configuring your Linux kernel at compile time (installing Gentoo would grant you this divine knowledge).

With that LOC there has to be code that can be cut out with no downsides for normal use.

ikik, but still. I'm on the verge of doing LFS anyway.
