been using Arch for years but i am still a novice, yesterday i had found that in order for something to work on my system i will need to edit a few lines in kernel which i did, then removed unnecessary modules > intel, > nvidia, compiled. it worked great but with Arch and its rolling release i am dreading the next update and having to go through this again.
what methods are there to automate this process?

    You could write a bash script to automate this process. Pacman supports hooks for updates, so after kernel updates you could set it up to automatically run the script.

      not looked in to pacman hooks but will need to now lol any i made a script that downloads, unzips and patches then compiles so mostly hands free.

    Although I haven't used Arch for a long time, I guess https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel#Compilation and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system will work.
