modprobed-db
Keeps track of EVERY kernel module that has ever been probed. Useful for those of us who make localmodconfig :)
-
WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
But it will do just that—keep the module that are present. And if something isn’t loaded, and you didn’t add it manually (or by using a helper program, like modprobe-db), then it won’t be there. Which means that, for example, if you were to plug in some previously not used webcam, or a Bluetooth dongle, or a disk formatted with a previously unused file system, etc., you won’t have the modules for it.
i use it without issues; it's greatly reduced my kernel compile time (from over 50 minutes to around 20 minutes). i wrote a short guide to getting started with it: https://github.com/flexibeast/guides/blob/master/minimal-gentoo-kernel.md
