Linux Certification (lemmy.world)

I'm going on garden leave soon (due to being affected by a big tech layoff). I thought of maybe doing a Linux certification of some sort while I've got the free time. Are there any that are actually worthwhile?

I've daily droven Linux for ~3 years and learned a lot, but I'd like to formalize it and hopefully have that help with my job hunt.

I don't have any thoughts on certs that haven't already been shared, but some thoughtsnfornany interviews you may land:

  • The person interviewing you has probably daily driver Linux for 20 years, and that's okay. We all have to start somewhere.
  • There aren't going to be many others (if any) interviewing who have daily driven Linux for three years.

So be humble, but not too humble. Haha.

We're a neat bubble here, but running Linux as a daily driver is still pretty rare, and puts you way ahead of the pack of other candidates, at least for entry/early Linux systems jobs.
