I'm curious about whether it's beneficial to specialize in a single operating system when working as a sysadmin, or if it's better to be well-rounded across multiple systems. I'm focusing primarily on Windows and Linux, as I haven't had much experience with MacOS. I understand that tools like Microsoft Intune and Entra are prevalent in large organizations, but the server environments are often Linux-based. What are your thoughts on this?

It really depends on the organization's needs. Some people are brought on board specifically for their expertise with MacOS and tools like JAMF, while others excel with Windows solutions like Intune and SCCM. It’s about matching your skills with what the job requires.
Ha, tell me about it! I end up managing all the OSs by myself sometimes. It's a bit much!
