Yes Linux is one of the most lacking skills sets amount most people getting into IT. I was lucky enough to be exposed to Red Hat in my current role as both a Desktop Support Tech / Linux Admin which is a rare combo. Having Linux knowledge alon with networking, DevOps automation, Scripting can take you far in your career. I'm aiming towards Cloud Engineering later on. Linux is essentially esp for cloud because you will be deploying everything as IaC, no GUI or doing it the manual way. The underlying of AWS is pretty much all Linux.
#1 Reason: None of them trust any of the others - with good reason. They all spin their own versions. I think its less "collaboration" between companies and more "we'll do the bit we're interested in and maybe kick some money in to keep the whole thing going." That's all fine. Somewhat off-topic: What is less fine is the abandonment of application-layer protocols (like SMTP) as they all move to proprietary web apps. Lock-in has moved up the stack to the ecosystem layer. Why is there no equivalent of MX records for domain authentication servers? Why do we need "log in with Microsoft", "login with Google", "login in with Facebook" options? Can we not just look up the DNS AUTH record to find the authentication server for a domain or DIR for a directory server?
I started my Linux journey at the end of 90s. But I cannot even pass a Linux exam even if I'm comfortable with any Linux distributions. I think the way to be familiar with Linux is the problem solving skills, not a random certification.
Linux is the world's most popular operating system. 98 percent of all servers that run the internet have Linux as the OS, almost all routers including ALL Cisco routers and switches are based on Linux, almost all APs run on Linux, all embedded systems run on Linux, Android is Linux, SpaceX satellites and crafts all run on Linux. If you don't know Linux and you're in IT, you are screwing yourself over.
Is there any reason for a non-IT related professional to use Linux? My work revolves around Windows apps, so I don't really see a need to divert energy into learning a new OS
The biggest takeaway from this video i got was: i dont need to be a master at the whole net+ material. I just need to be able to use it and apply it to a degree that if i come across a problem i dont know. Having the osi model as a foundation and a set of tools at my disposal to diagnose my network is how ill begin to tackle things on my own. :3 My friend was right. He was telling me to not have imposter syndrome and just be confident, but what i needed was a qualifier as to where i should probably be before job hunting. I understand most linux commands i see in ky cert courses. I just dont have them memorized and thats ok
I’m currently taken the google cyber security certificate and very close to end with being over 60% done with module 7(there is 8 in total) one oft favorite parts of the certificate was the linux portion. I was wondering where I can take the next step and gain a better foundation in linux with studying and also get a certification in the future to prove my worth and knowledge within the operating system. Any advice would be appreciated!
I wouldn't mind Linux so much if it weren't for the fan base. Linux nerds are insufferable about the command line being faster and better than anything else. Case in point, I was in a linux class using VM's, and the instructor spent a legit 15 minutes typing out a command line to enable shared clipboard and copy/paste through the virtualization software. In the time he took to do that, I had changed the settings in the gui for the VM software, and completed the first lab. I then informed him that what he was trying to do was a matter of two check boxes and a reboot on the VM, and that I did it inside of a minute. He was not amused.
I'll also offer up the opinion that the teacher was not a very good teacher. They should have had that setup before you walked in the door. It doesn't sound like they knew what they were doing.
I love Linux because it wasn't Windows. I literately hated Windows. I switch to Linux 20 years ago and never looked back. Took me only 5 days to get comfortable using Linux. Currently using MX KDE 23.1.
@@TheBeardedITDad All I did is made a list of the things I did in Windows and figure out how to do them in Linux. Found everything in 5 days and stuck with Linux. The only thing was Windows games. But I never stop gaming. I game with Linux games instead. Linux repositories has many games that work and fun to play in Linux. Wasn't hard to learn. After you stop thinking like Windows. Which was the first step to understand Linux more.
Q: got azure associates, google cyber and now onto Linux courses and python then htb cdsa, splunk and ejpt in 2024.. but wondering if I should get security+ in between... not sure it's worth it..?
Agreed.. you almost cant get an us gov interview without a Security+.... but with all the certs you have i think you have enough to get started... what you need now is experance
Android is not I repeat it is not Linux. The two operating systems are not at all functionally compatible. The Linux kernel used in Android is so heavily modified it's not even recognizable as Linux anymore! Plus, if Android were a version of Linux, why would Microsoft have had to go to the trouble and expense of creating two separate subsystems for Linux and Android within the Windows environment?
I beg to differ. The cloud uses a lot of Linux esp AWS which is 100% based. Amazon uses a custom version of RHEL known as Amazon Linux that powers Amazon's CLI. There is lots of Linux used in Cyber Security, Networking and many traditional sysadmin roles. I administer and support RHEL Workstations.

Just recently passed my CompTIA Linux+ exam. Linux is becoming extremely popular that computer science is using some aspects of it.
here's why
1: it work
2: it's free
Well you aint wrong...hahahaha
Currently studying for RHCSA. 🙌
Currently studying for the Linux+. It's a beast so far.
What are you using to study?
@@TheBeardedITDad The Comptia Linux+ Study Guide Book, ITProtv, with Anki cards along with an Ubuntu VM
sounds like you are going down the correct path

If you want one of the funnest ways to reinforce that Linux portion is a steam game called “World of Haiku” it was cyberpunk and hacker vibes
I would check out The Linux Foundation or CompTIA's Linux +

It's all about finding the right balance between command line and GUI, each has its own strengths!
@@TheBeardedITDad that makes sense.

Interacting with those types of people is optional, and I've had a great experience ignoring them. I hope you choose linux if it suits your needs 🙂

what about the linux for somebody who far from server admin? What the profit?

It's still linux lol, and chrome os as well
There are so few IT jobs that involve linux it almost seems like a waste to learn.

NASA?, linux
@vilian9185 hahah true true
You sir are wrong. There are no desktop support IT jobs that really deal with Linux.
Taking LPI Linux Essentials tomorrow…
How did it go?
I passed!!!
Congrats!!!
@@TheBeardedITDad Thanks
Already have my Linux + I knew it’s basically the basic of all IT operations because you are a master of the command line🙌🏾💯
That's awesome! Linux is definitely a fundamental skill in the IT field. Keep up the great work!
