So I run Linux mint on my personal laptop, but boot a mainline kernel built from source (so more stable userspace, but cutting edge kernel, as I do a fair amount of kernel development). I think that sounds like they setup your asking about? Building and installing your own kernel isn't too bad. If you want to give it a shot: 1. download mainline, ie torvalds/linux 2. make -j localmodconfig olddefconfig 3. make -j 4. make -j modules_install install and reboot.

If you apply the appropriate Debian[1] or Ubuntu kernel patch sets, you can build .deb packages of your kernel and ensure that the appropriate kernel settings and integrations are set for your system.

  Upstream kernel has make deb-pkg target for creating deb packages. no need for patching.
