I'm not sure battery replacement falls under the category of repair, more like required maintenance.
If you run linux, sooner or later you're going to want compile software from sources. Building software on linux is hardly if any different than building software on any other *NIX platform. Developers and package managers have made the process easy. So whatever your pleasure, please indulge.
