Following the initial install steps, the Gentoo Linux install process in the Gentoo Handbook describes compiling a new Linux kernel. This process is generally not required by other Linux distributions. Although this is widely regarded as a complex task, Gentoo provides documentation and tools such as [[Genkernel]] to simplify the process. In addition, users may also use an existing kernel known to work on their system by simply copying it to the boot directory, or installing one of the provided pre-compiled kernel packages, and updating their bootloader. Support for installation is provided on the Gentoo forum,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gentoo Forums :: View Forum - Installing Gentoo|url=https://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-14.html|access-date=2021-12-30|website=forums.gentoo.org|archive-date=December 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211230032138/https://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-14.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Reddit]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=r/Gentoo|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/|access-date=2021-12-30|website=reddit|language=en-US|archive-date=December 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211230032132/https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=IRC channels – Gentoo Linux|url=https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/irc-channels/|access-date=2021-12-30|website=Gentoo.org|archive-date=December 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211230032139/https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/irc-channels/|url-status=live}}</ref>
