It's not that hard to run Linux without modules, I've been doing it on my laptop for a decade.

Just build the kernel and set the right options, this is for a Dell XPS13: https://github.com/jcalvinowens/misc/blob/main/kbuild/config...

It takes a few hours to whittle it down for a particular piece of hardware, but I've never broken anything on Debian by running kernels built with CONFIG_MODULE=n.

What is that and how is it used?

Sorry that was really unclear, I edited. It's the kernel build configuration for my laptop, with module loading disabled. All the drivers are statically linked.
