I have a ok laptop but its not the greatest, i want to have something such as a creative outlet that i can do in a simple manner? Ive thought about many of things but im unsure if i should try them? Im stuck inside alot and im bored alot aswell. I just want something to do other than light gaming and watching youtube.

What would you advise and why so?

Volunteer for things you find interesting or fun.

Check out OpenStreetMap:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
And help map out your area.

You can help out with a variety of different research projects over on the Zooniverse:
https://www.zooniverse.org/

Help out with research on wildlife in your area:
https://www.inaturalist.org/

Contribute to Wikipedia:
https://www.wikipedia.org/

If you feel passionate about consumer rights, you can contribute to the wiki here:
https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Main_Page

If you like to tinker with electronics, check out Fulu Bounties and get paid for helping to get around DRM on refrigerators or on an Xbox.
https://bounties.fulu.org/

Then of course there's always volunteering for organizations nearby.

Why? I have reasons for each of these projects but for me it just sparks joy in contributing to projects that will help others.
