We observe that the Dieudonn\'{e} determinant induces a non-negative degree function on the ring of matrices over a skew polynomial ring. We then apply this degree function to two examples. In the first one, we find an expression for the rank of the kernel of an endomorphism of the algebraic group $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ over a field of characteristic $p>0$. In the second, we calculate the dimension of the solution space of linear matrix differential equations.
