      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.

          By your logic, you cannot dismiss the project for being a personal one. Only if it fails, is it dismissable.

            I can do whatever I want. And odds are very good this is a fly-by-night personal project that goes nowhere.

              Didn’t say you can’t whatever you want. I said “by your logic”. That was assuming you don’t contradict your own logic, but of course you can otherwise :)

                Okay - so here’s the thing. You want to play stupid word games you can play stupid word games. There’s a 99% chance I never hear of this stupid project again. It has nothing interesting going for it and is supported by exactly one developer.

                Sure - lightning may strike twice and this becomes the next “big thing”. But the chance is so remote as to be zero. So yes - it’s a personal project that you can ignore.
