That's easy. Get rid of the disclaimer at the bottom of your mails! :p

The serious answer really depends on you, and it's hard to give advice
that works for everyone. That said, learn to configure, build and run
upstream kernels from git. Find issues that bother you, look at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org for inspiration. Learn to do git bisect,
and bisect the issues if they're regressions. Debug them and fix them if
you can.


HTH,
Jani.
