Hi!

> One day, I watched a video from Greg: https://youtu.be/LLBrBBImJt4, and I started wondering if maybe I could contribute to the Linux kernel. 


If you are interested in security, fixing Coverity issues is a great way to
contribute to the kernel. Here are some presentations that you might find
useful:

You can also watch these presentations on YouTube for additional context.

You can sign up here for linux-next scans:

and here for -rc scans:

I hope this helps.
