Special Interests?

I get intensely interested in a subject for a while then it gets replaced by another interest. Always been like that.
It's sort of annoying because of I could sustain that level of interest in one subject for longer I could've been an expert in something and that might have led to a decent career.
As it is I just end up knowing more than the average amount about some very disparate subjects, but not enough to be useful.

I relate to that 100%
When I get interested in something, I buy a textbook and search the internet and ask Grok about it. I really want to know everything about it as quickly as possible. In the end I get completely exhausted and loose interest.
Then the next thing comes.....
I just need to slow down and learn that stuff .. but I can't .. everything has to be fast and now .. I want to be an expert on that topic in 1 week. That's why I am no expert in anything

Relate to this too. I have my main interest but then I get these related interests like this, that take over my brain for a few weeks or months. Then I lose interest.

I kind of find systemd okay, I just rolled with it, but then I wasn't in deep enough for it to make a big difference to my usage. A few years ago I realized Arch Linux was no longer for me as I just didn't have the time, energy, or interest to maintain my system. Been on Fedora since. Using Linux on my home PCs for 24 years now, lol. Seems a long time.

David Bowie is my biggest special interest for the past several years. I just love listening, looking at, reading about anything that is related to David Bowie! I also have a small collection of knives and watches that I enjoy arranging perfectly by size and gazing at the aesthetics of them. Solo extended backpacking has been a special interest for most of my adult life. If left to my own devices I would talk only about these things, but most people have no idea what I am talking about nor do they have more than a passing interest in most things, from what I can tell. So, I have learned to shut up and keep quiet.

I used Fedora for some time. I generally went through many distros.
Currently I'm on Manjaro ... I'm quite happy with it.
