The problem is the alternatives are even worse.
Any significant investment in Russia (> few $M) inevitably attracts attention of many "powerful people", all asking for their cuts.
Thus, very few projects can be viable, forget about profitable. Basically, only those personally overseen by Putin (to fend off smaller "protectors").

- ADS-B plane tracking on Raspberry Pi 3
- FT8 amateur radio monitoring on Asus Tinkerboard
- Octoprint 3D printer server on Orange Pi
- WeeWX weather station on Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Discord bot on Raspberry Pi Zero W
Granted, this is not a typical household. I just want to make a point that there is more use for Linux than just desktop.
The black coal was obviously placed in the depth of the Earth by Satan as a way to tempt us with the easily accessible energy.
