Next week, I'm finally switching my PC to run Linux exclusively, as I just ordered a new main rig that should arrive this Wednesday. I've created a USB stick with Fedora on it already. My main goal is to use the primary rig for gaming and everyday tasks, while the Linux machine will be for school projects and experimenting. I have some experience with Linux, but I've noticed that our IT program doesn't cover it much. What are some topics or skills I can focus on that are valuable for a career in IT while I learn to navigate Linux as an operating system?

You might want to explore self-hosting or creating a homelab! Linux is widely used on servers, so learning about that can really boost your familiarity with these systems. It's a great way to understand how Linux operates in real-world environments, and it can be super useful for your future IT roles. Plus, setting up your own server can be a fun challenge!
Do you have any specific ideas on what to host or what projects to start with?
