Gaming! There's so many amazing games out there in all sorts of genres.
do you have any suggestions? (Preferably free ones for a low end pc)... also i was thinking of starting something like a youtube but i wasent sure.
Path of Exile is the first one that comes to mind. It's entirely free but supported by Quality of Life and cosmetic microtransactions. However they don't push the mxtrans on you at all, and I'm pretty sure that all content is available in the game for free.
It's not free but Deep Rock Galactic has amazing reviews, can be bought on special for cheap, and is only about 3gb to download so it should run fine on an older PC!
Edit: I messed up the name of the first game, it's Path of Exile.
Emulate it all! Emulation has come a long way, and it's constantly progressing. I'm sure there are older games that might be of your interest, personally I've been enjoying the Zelda games I never had the chance to play as a kid, it's really nice.
Vintage games on GOG are pretty cheap or you could also go down the Abandonware rabbit hole. (I played both Freelancer and Mechcommander recently) Theres a good book called 1001 videogames to play before you die or something like that which could be a great reference if you want to explore retro games.
Youtube could be great, it could be a terrible idea. Youtube commenters are a bunch of fucking savages. Twitch is also an option but my understanding is you need a pretty good pc for streaming or video editing.
