The kbin.social links are giving me a 404.
I had the same experience trying to get a game (Stepmania) to work on Fedora. I could not resolve the damn dependencies. 3 hours later I found a flatpak of the game and it just worked immediately. I think I'm sold.
Meanwhile I'm trying to tell my ADHD brain to pick fewer hobbies so I can actually stop and enjoy one and stop buying things to start new ones.....
That said, hobby electronics and soldering is a fun one. Also if your city allows it (or if you live rural) you can get into a little bit of farming and get some chickens. Ill also suggest coffee roasting.
