It won’t teach you about the kernel, it’s just a tool that papers over the existing tools for building and debugging the kernel.

If you want to learn then follow a tutorial for building the kernel by hand. Going through the kernel configuration (it’s long) and searching details for the entries is what teaches you the most.

Fair warning, it’s a very deep rabbit hole about computer architecture, networking and lots of other things. But it’s an amazing teaching source.
