About 10 years ago, I first ventured into Linux, initially just experimenting with different distros and getting a feel for it. Recently, I've been working on a project at my job to create a proof of concept using Linux for our digital displays. I've managed to get a project running with Docker, but I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface. While I can perform basic tasks—like creating files, changing permissions, and setting up networking—I realize I have a long way to go, especially with Bash scripting. Most of my development has been assisted by AI, but I'd like to learn more independently. I'm considering getting certified as a sys admin, specifically with LFCSA and RHCSA, but I wonder if I should learn more concepts before jumping into certifications. Also, since we're planning to use Ubuntu Server at work, would that make LFCSA the better option?

Congrats on your journey with Linux! The best way to learn is by solving specific problems. Bash scripting is just a collection of commands you’d run in a terminal, which makes it handy for automation. You can start simple, but once scripts get complicated, consider learning Python or Go since they handle complexity better. Remember, if you're working with displays connected to the internet, prioritize security—think about updates and software auto-starting post-reboots. Have fun with it; Linux has so much to offer!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
