* doc: use linuxPackages_custom instead of linuxManualConfig (#319046)•••linuxManualConfig involves more boilerplate to change the kernel. Use the wrapper linuxPackages_custom which is wrapper that takes an attribute sets and calls linuxManualConfig approrpriately. This is much easier for beginners to use instead of linuxManualConfig helper. Point to linuxManualConfig for further customizations.Pankaj Raghav2024-06-111-13/+7
* doc: remove misleading kernel.features explanation•••At this point kernel.features is more of an implementation detail and normal users should not come into contact with it. Julian Stecklina2024-01-221-14/+0
* doc: consolidate info on manual linux kernel configs•••The Nixpkgs documentation on the linux kernel builders focused on using and extending kernels that were already packaged, but never mentioned that it's possible to also build a kernel almost "from scratch". The NixOS documentation went a bit deeper on manual linux kernel configs, but that information wasn't particularly NixOS-specific. This commit consolidates the information related to building the kernel on Nixpkgs's documentation, while keeping any additional NixOS-specific information on NixOS's documentation. An additional README.md was created for contributor-facing documentation. DS2023-11-231-18/+104
