I’m trying to get a job in IT that will (hopefully) pay more than a usual 9 to 5. I’m been daily driving Linux exclusively for about 2 1/2 years now and I’m trying to improve my skills to the point that I could be considered a so-called “power user.” My question is this: will this increase my hiring chances significantly or marginally?

    “The Cloud” is mostly Linux—specifically Linux containers. Kubernetes and Docker are Linux specific technologies.

    Most “IT” roles these days will be for from Linux knowledge ( not all of course ). It is a good skill to have.

    If you do encounter an environment where they do not use Linux, it may be because of a lack of skilled staff. You could be the reason they adopt it.
