To use a different configuration you would create a new package variant
of the “linux-libre” package in “gnu/packages/linux.scm”, overriding the
native-input with the label “kconfig”.  Then you can specify your kernel
variant package in the “kernel” field of your system configuration.

I don’t recommend changing the default configuration in your local
checkout.

Hope this helps!
