Writing an OS [0] was one of my first programming projects, 17 years ago, and things were kind of revolving around it like planets around the sun ever since.
Naturally, it's not something you can earn any money out of, or something that can ever be practical. But it does allow you to learn a lot and shape your coding approaches.

Modded Linux Kernels (among many other reasons of course). Those guys are remunerated through the roof. Don't assume something doesn't make money because its not built on top of rails. The more expensive a computer, the more likely it is that it runs on a custom operating system written by really expensive operating syetem experts.
