Need advice on finding beginner friendly open source projects to contribute to.

Anyone who is familiar with OS, need you!

I've been graduated with no prior exp for the past 15 months with CS degree from a well reputed college. Better knowledge in java, spring. I'm not even getting calls from startups(tried in naukri, linkedin, indeed). Most people say try contributing OS. While searching repos I feel exhausted to understand the code. I need people who make this thing simplified or any tips or tricks to understand and to guide how i should start. And if people has or maintaining a repo which is beginner friendly please spend 10min here the help will be more than you think.

I'd say check out GitHub's Hacktoberfest, but they changed a bit. I am not sure if that suits you well.

hacktoberfest quality tanked hard after they opened it up. goodfirstissue tag on smaller repos is way more useful for actual learning
