</div></div>Hello!<br>
<br>
I think people appreciate your enthusiasm. I do think that knowing C<br>
programming is a prerequisite. So you need to start with that.<br>
For the theory, if you want to start learning how the kernel works, I<br>
recommend the book Linux Kernel Development [1] by Robert Love.<br>
Another thing I would give you is this video [2] to know how to submit<br>
your first patch.<br>
