Hi Julia, I want to inform you that I have successfully built the kernel. After building successfully, I could not install, I searched on how to build Linux kernel on Debian, so I found the command "make -jN bindeb-pkg" which created a debian packages for easy installation in the parent directory which I installed with the command "sudo apt install ./*.deb". Thank you for the support so far, I really appreciate, now nothing is standing in the way of sending my patches.
