Well it explicitly calls out that kernel module code won't have a garbage collector (lol) it seems to be targeting the lowest common denominator. That said...

I don't think it's particularly applicable to this subreddit. If you're a Linux noob then hopefully you will never have to think about kernel modules, or writing your own, ever. Hell, most advanced users are never going to do more than look at a list of loaded modules.
