   To everyone on my instance who enjoys their Linux youtubers.

   Linux is actually a very powerful system (mainly kernel keep that in mind), and if you persue a career in Linux administration, please realize that you likely will be undercut in terms of wage because employers will think they can underpay you because "free" software means "free" labor. So basically know your worth :cirno_smile:

     If all you know about Linux is that you can run a desktop on it, you are not going to get a job. However if you know shell and python scripting you have a semi valuable skill. None of which are taught in your favorite Linux YouTuber's Channel.

     @splitshockvirus when I interviewed for a sysadmin position years ago one thing they were very pleased I could do was manage apache configuration files and troubleshoot issues related to config. These days nginx is probably more valuable to know going into an interview but understanding the popular generic servers is a good thing to know.

     Understanding practical software is a marketable skill.

     @GNUxeava @splitshockvirus I dropped out of college once I landed a sysadmin position. Was able to work my way up to senior engineer. Fuck college. They were trying to teach shit that was entirely irrelevant to my job. 5-10 years behind on everything and incredibly focused on proprietary software. It was a shit school but I think real world experience is so much more valuable than anything you can learn in school except maybe in highly specialized cases. As an interviewer you can tell the difference between an enthusiast and simple book knowledge.
     
     No disrespect to degree havers or those aspiring.
