Nice blog!  Just to let you know, there's a difference between
development on Linux and Linux kernel development.
Wikipedia has a pretty good general article on kernels:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(operating_system)

We're mostly interested in the development, concepts, inner-workings and
usage of the Linux kernel.  While what happens in userspace is relevant,
we mostly concentrate on the kernel itself.

Ozgur Kara <ozgur at goosey.org> gave a really good list of topics torelating
to kernel development.  I'd also really recommend reading
https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/SUMMARY.md

A pretty good place to start kernel development is by writing kernel
modules.  https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ is a good place to start, but
some of the stuff is a bit outdated given it's over 10 years old, but
you should be able to write some stuff with it.
