Next week, I'm finally transitioning my PC to run full Linux since my new main rig is set to arrive on Wednesday. I've already created a bootable stick with Fedora on it. I plan to use my main rig for gaming and everyday tasks, while the Linux machine will be dedicated to schoolwork and experimentation. Although I'm somewhat familiar with Linux, it's surprising that my IT program doesn't cover it at all. I'm looking for suggestions on useful skills or projects I could undertake that would be beneficial in IT, while also learning to navigate Linux as an operating system.

You could explore self-hosting or setting up a homelab! Linux is commonly used in server environments, so tinkering with that could really boost your IT skills. Plus, you'll get hands-on experience that's transferable to various roles in the field. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with how Linux operates in a server context!
Any recommendations on what specific things I should host or experiment with in my homelab?
