I'm transitioning from customer-based support to a Linux support engineering role and would love some guidance on the daily tasks I should be focusing on. Also, I'm looking for resources that can help me get better at Bash scripting. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

You'll mostly be checking logs and the system's state as part of your daily tasks. It's important to automate repetitive tasks with scripts; it saves time and reduces errors. One great resource to start with is the BashFAQ at mywiki.wooledge.org. Just make sure you have some basic knowledge before diving in!
Make yourself a project by creating scripts for common tasks. For instance, you can write a script that manages log files or automates ticket alerts using APIs. Automate everything you do repeatedly; it helps you learn while practicing! Don't forget to use ShellCheck to keep your scripts tidy.
This sounds really practical, thanks for the advice!
Insightful! thank you
