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?

You should definitely try them. What have you got to lose?

Since you're a creative sort, why not make zines? Scribus is a free layout tool you could use to build them and there are plenty of free templates available.

I used to co-edit an indie magazine in the 00s using Scribus.

whenever we accidentally misclicked and it showed the error message "the program GIMP is missing!" the rule was you had to stand up and read the error message out loud

"The gimp's asleep."

"Well wake him up!"
