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.

I would guess, it means you have an art degree or something of the sort.

They probably are, At the UTP in Panama they will contact some students (based on what idk presumably on impressions of performance) to do IT for them, it’s not technically an internship it’s a regular job that’s part time
