From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It'll get you past the AI for human eyes to land on the resume. But having hired a lot of IT guys in the past, I would take experience and no certs over certs and no experience.

To take that a little further, I recruit on enthusiasm, experience then certs last.

There's too many “experts” out there that I might not be able to fire due to employment laws.

Certs are what I'd train my team for, to show to our clients.
