Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?

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?

I mean, probably Linux at some point. I've dipped my toes in as a complete novice, but I expect I'll take the full dive eventually.
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.
That's definitely on my radar, I was just wondering what they had given their family.
Linux Mint is great for ultra-noobs, but I'd personally setup Debian for a super-stable computer, and nowadays it's really not that hard, so that would be another option.
I have installed Arch Linux in some of those computers tho, and I've had no issues too; but well, the install process is not for the newbie.
Thanks, that's interesting.
I might be able to deal with a bit of a learning curve, used to run Redhat in a partition but it was decades ago.
Linux has been fun this year! Mint works awesome! I feel so dirty having to log into Windows for work.
