I have an assignment to build a custom kernel which removes all the drivers/plugins that are not needed and also remove any traces that it is Ubuntu's.Basically, my teacher wants us to strip it down to the bare-bones where we can still install/add plugins if needed afterwards. I followed this tutorial to build; however, when I got to Testing the new kernel and restarted, everything remained the same. It booted back up to Ubuntu (menu never showed up to pick kernel). The size of the OS went up by 20gb as well. I checked the kernel version with uname -r both times to make sure.Please help me remove the bloatware and remove the branding.
