Hi! Rrright, I will be giving this a try today or tomorrow, as time permits. Hints will come in handy, certainly. First thing I'll need is gcc 7.5, since that kernel version won't compile on 8 or 9 which are the versions I have at hand at the momment. So compiling that now. It'll take a bit on my laptop. I will come back when I have some (maybe useful) feedback. Cheers and thank you for all the guidance, it's quite appreciated.
