I would say that you may consider first getting a clearer idea of what you want. For example
From what you wrote I think the fact that you work on so many things may be keeping you from been good at any of them. I recently saw an interview of the founder of Vercel. By the time he was in high school he was already getting job offers because he became know for been good at what he was doing.
I would suggest to try and get clarity on what you want and also remember that this is not a once in a lifetime decision.. you can say "hey I want to try X..." and then after you actually try it realize is not what you wanted and then move to something else; the may takeaway is that trying to do lots of unrelated things likely will not help you achieve your goals.. unless you could use all those contributions in open source as reference when applying to a job.
