I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you’ve set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled.
Are you deeply self aware of these interests like some kind of list? If so, are these interests deeply connected in your mind to your past explorations and interests like some kind of road map or branching tree structure of thought?
What’s funny is that I have installed Linux on many of my family’s computers and they have NEVER ever felt the need to go back to Windows. They probably think it’s just Windows but I took the trash out of it. It just works and it’s amazing.
Distro recs? I’m like @The_Picard_Maneuver insofar as it’s something I think I’ll get around to one day, but I’m not in IT and want something super stable.
Usually the most common recommendation for new users is Linux Mint.
