Extra steps lead to possible kernel rebuilding

Thankyou for your swift reply, however that doesn’t really answer the question albeit I don’t fully understand kernels or even the difference between the kernel and DEOT / Clockwork OS. I’ve ordered myself a larger Micro SD card, for now I’m holding off on any projects until I load:
https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/custom-d-e-o-t-v2-0-clockwork-os-v0-5-image-with-customised-deot-interface-kernel-5-4-24-optional-1400mhz-oc-debian-10-buster-retroarch-1-8-5-mupen64-plus-more-current-build-200423/5088
I feel like this might have what I’m looking for as I have absolutely no idea how to implement what I need through building a kernel directly.
