Just install some Linux distro (preferably not something like Ubuntu but something more "bare"/"raw") and start tinkering. I feel there are more tinkers into Linux nowadays than there were PC/Mac tinkers regardless of OS back in the 90s. Of course computers (including mobiles and tablets) became widely mainstream over the years so the percentage of tinkers dropped but the absolute numbers increased.
