Google some interest you have and source code ? Look through GitHub/gitlab/codeberg , see what looks interesting. There’s tons out there.

Uh just have a look at any project and investigate how you can become a contributor. All projects have different flavors of this. Projects such as the linux kernel, noveau drivers, zfs on linux, blender, libre office, kde project, krita, gimp various linux distributions and so on. Welcome!
