I want to get into writing drivers for linux, I already know some C but how do i write drivers?

Do i need to just find some obscure hardware that doesn't work on linux and try to write a driver for it?

You don't want to write drivers. You want the leet prestige of saying you write drivers.

I wrote some custom drivers for a special camera for an embedded linux application. It was shit, it took a long ass time and it was just about the worst thing I've ever had to do.

I've also written some "drivers" that are more like libs for arduino and .net micro for various ICs but that's baby tier shit. If you want to write drivers start there
