How to Safely Flash USBMIDIKLIK Bootloader on a Mega Using an Uno on Linux Mint?

Good morning guys πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ»
I’m diving into a project for a USB MIDI controller with a Mega (interface in the photo, the empty holes are for potentiometers, 12 buttons, 24 potentiometers, and 12 LEDs, it’s quite a setup, so I’ll need to multiplex…). Therefore, I’ll need to flash the bootloader. I was thinking of using USBMIDIKLIK as the new bootloader, as it allows recognition as a MIDI device and program uploading, and it’s reputed to be more reliable than other MIDI-related projects.
I want to flash my Mega using an Uno, but it seems a bit confusing to me with a lot of diverse information, and I’m struggling to sort through it.

Could someone provide a safe and simple modus operandi?
I’m using Linux Mint (Debian).

Thanks in advance.

    To flash the USBMIDIKLIK bootloader on your Mega using an Uno follow this approach

    1. Connect the boards as described.
    2. Put the Mega in bootloader mode.
    3. Run the avrdude command:

    Make sure you are using the right serial port.

    Remove the jumper wire and reset the Mega.

    Remember to double-check your connections and serial port before flashing
