You specify the kernal in the config and rebuild, reboot.
Here are the docs if you're interested: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Linux_kernel
Sweet, thanks. If I can configure kernel and modules, that is good enough to start with.
How long does it take for you to rebuild?
Rebuilding after adding a single program doesn't take too long (depends on the program but often less than a minuet).
Rebuilding after upgrading the channel takes longer on my slow internet as many programs have version upgrades that need to be downloaded. I think it took 30-60mins last time. I imagine it would be faster with better internet.
