I'm diving into the world of Linux for cybersecurity, but first, I want to land a Sys Admin job where I can practice my skills by breaking and fixing systems. There are so many Linux distributions out there, and I'm trying to figure out which one is the most popular for Sys Admins. Also, I've heard that installing NVIDIA graphics cards on Linux can be a bit of a headache. Is that still the case? I have an MSI Dominator Pro with a 980 card and want to know if there are any solutions to make the installation process smoother.

I recommend checking out the resources page on the linux4noobs wiki—it’s super helpful! And definitely try to test things out in a virtual machine before making major changes. Remember to back everything up. Good luck! 😊
For Sys Admin roles, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is definitely the go-to distribution. If you're looking for something more user-friendly for personal use, consider Fedora since it's the upstream version of RHEL. They share many similarities, so you'll get a solid experience either way. Don’t stress too much about the NVIDIA drivers; it's much easier now, typically just a few clicks on most distros.
Installing NVIDIA cards on Linux used to be quite the hassle, but that's not true anymore! With the right distro, like Ubuntu or others, you can get it up and running pretty smoothly. I guess those rumors stick around, but technology has improved a lot. Good luck with your MSI; let us know how the installation goes!
