It looks like it's the LTS version of the kernel?

:As you found out by your last sentence, the default Linux package set is set to the latest LTS released at the time the next stable version of NixOS is forked off. This is important because the latest non-LTS version of Linux may be EOL'd before our next release happens! As this is a stable branch, we don't want to rudely upgrade such a critical package from under the user's feet.

== Build kernel from source and use it ==

I'm working on the linux kernel, so I need to build a kernel from kernel.org with my changes and run it. I have no clue about how to do this on NixOS. I come from Arch Linux, and their documentation for what I want to do is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Traditional_compilation. It would be awesome if the this page included instructions like that for NixOS.

== specify pkgs.linuxKernel.packages.* instead of what's currently there ==

The reader, from what I can tell, does not know to add pkgs.linuxKernel to the kernel option.

:↑ Examples need to be updated
