    90% of problem solving is just Googling stuff and screwing with settings, which isn’t particularly Linux specific.

        Usually there is also documentation of your distro, if not use the documentation of the distro your distro is based off

      Under Linux you find the root cause and fix it.

      Under Windows you just try everything until something magically works.

        That’s exactly what I tell tinkerers.

        You can be a Windows IT person for a decade and not really know anything except how to copy and paste something.

        You do the same for Linux, and at some point, everything clicks.

          Technically that’s not entirely true. I’ve met some talented Windows Adkins and some terrible Linux people. If someone has been using Linux for decades they tend to become complacent and errogant. Good luck trying to get them to even acknowledge containers or that systemd. It sad since both containers and systemd have been around for decades at this point.

          Give me someone who is really to learn. Those are the best people to work with.

          Experience with Linux administration just rocks, frankly working with servers this past month has been a very eye opening experience and I learnt a lot, just thinking about what I may gather from a year or a decade of work is immense for me

          ATLEAST I won’t go hungry, haha
