      Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
      Linux itself started as

      just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu

      It’s not useless as you can learn from it.

        The reason Linux is such a big deal is that it was the one of dozens that didn’t fail. This is ignorable.
