I am new here, and I want to know how to get started, maybe with the
simplest way available.

Something the others haven't addressed - do you have an understanding of
*why* you are here?  As the "how to get started" will be different for
different answers...

I am here because I am curious about how the kernel is developed. If I
have to blame to something, that would be taking the LFS101x course. I
have been using some distros since ages, but I never had enough time
to be involved in anything (lots of things to do). I finished
university recently, and I have some free time to do what I like.

Are you here because you're a professional programmer who's done a
lot of userspace work, and your company just re-assigned you to write
an FPGA driver for a new product?

Are you here because you got a project assignment from a professor?

Are you here because you just bought a Brand X laptop and the sound
card is supposedly supported, but it plays everything in reverse?

Are you here because you have a device that has no driver in Linux?

Are you here because you're a troll?

Oh, I am sure that I am not a troll (maybe my questions seems to be
about simple topics or vague in some way, but that is because I still
don't know enough to be specific).

Are you here because you think kernel hacking is a good way to improve
your resume?

Are you here because you've been using Linux, and you want to give back
but have no idea how?

This questions seems to be in the direction of my feelings. I am not
sure about which part of the system I would like to be involved with.

We've seen all of the above here - and each of these should probably
be heading in a different direction.  There isn't really a one size
fits all best way to get started.

I know that, but I wanted something that helps me to have a narrower
set of possible choices. Thanks Valdis!
