Learning. If your career is IT-adjacent or if you're interested in open source, learn the Linux command line. Spin up Virtualbox or Hyper-V, install Devuan server, and get a basic Linux CLI tutorial.
I used to think that but now any learning after hours or off the clock isn't fun and just feels like work.
Yeah learning the CLI isn't glamorous, but it unlocks an entire world of compile- and CLI-only programs that are extremely difficult to get working on Windows. Things like spinning up your own Mastodon or Matrix instance, running a local version of Archive (Mnemosyne), or even just uploading Python to a Git server.
I have lost my passion for IT just sounds like work I don't want to do or learn.
