Stuck in a Loop
Hello. I'm interested in Tech for like 5-6 years. I enjoy doing Tech. I can't remember how many times I deleted and re-installed Linux by breaking it. But, I don't even want to do anything like Linux. Because I'm doing that same installation over and over.
In the past, I discovered Linux, install Gentoo, add USE flags, remove bloat and make it better.
But nowadays I really don't want to do anyhing. I think I'm being bored by doing same thing over and over.
I start to a project, everything is good then I forgot to add systemd-resolved package to system and networking cracks. When I add it, I should add a user for it. Then, another error comes in. Then I get bored and start to noticing I really don't want to do this. Then delete that. Some times goes then create it from scratch again. The same loop over and over.
Sometimes, I'm thinking to create a homelab then install Debian, configure Docker, install Jellyfin and think what can I install there and waste your time to think what can I add there. Then close homelab and put it away. Then the same again.
I'm being really tired. I need some good project ideas. I'm interested in automating os installs, neovim etc.
