There is no "Broadcom-modified kernel". There's a fork with changes needed to support all Pi hardware at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux. Unlike some boards were you're eternally stuck at old versions, the fork is actively maintained (currently mostly at 6.6, soon 6.12) with its changes regularly getting upstreamed. You post make it sound like the Pi kernel is a mess, which it is absolutely not.

That's literally the same thing

Right. I read it as "modified by Broadcom". Just wanted to point out, that this isn't inherently a bad thing if done right.

I get where you're coming from, didn't mean to make it sound like that but I do see it the same way zokier seems to. End game for me is booting a vanilla kernel compiled entirely from open source code and having access to all the boards hardware.
