    From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
    He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.

        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.
