If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Turns out I'm too brainlet to properly configure my own kernel (ACPI error at the start).
Is there any way to get all the active modules and compiled-in flags from the running system? I want to boot from something with generic kernel (like arch) and copy the active configuration into my own config.
I don't go with generic for my laptop, because I don't want to lose the convenience of the EFISTUB and a couple of other options.

Gnome is literally my last option next to writing my own.
