Running make -j$(nproc) or make modules -j$(nproc) I am following this. To run make -j$(nproc) make modules -j$(nproc) I know that make is running jobs **Are the jobs supposed to run for hours?** (I got impatient and interrupted.) make -j$(nproc)

Yes, it can run for hours, it all depends on your hardware and the quantity of code you're trying to compile.

Don't be impatient, just wait, or compile this on a better machine with a better CPU!
