If you want to contribute, fix bugs found by syzbot [0], there's an endless backlog there.

It's the fastest way to get your hands dirty, familiar with a variety of subsystems, and land meaningful, appreciated patches upstream.

Or pick a random SBC from Aliexpress or something you have catching dust at home, and try to improve the mainline Linux support for it. That will get you opportunities to learn more deeply the various kernel subystems, too. Especially around driver and arch code. That's what I did anyway.
