    I have colleagues at MSPs who have never used linux in their lifetime. The linux foundation offers certificates and the LPI linux certificates are another option. Even in enterprise IT, linux is seen as a mythical animal that is unheard of and can only be managed through the terminal. active directory has a gui. yes it causes friction and fear because it’s not reassuring like a gui is.

      Yeah true, I’ve got to regularly remind myself that for most professionals working in IT, the only thing they know about Linux is it’s that esoteric free OS that you get preinstalled on a cheap VPS, used for hosting WordPress sites by people who are too cheap to pay for a windows licence. At least, that’s the view that my colleagues at the last two places In worked at had.
