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.

I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.
The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they're never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn't actually mean that you are a competent IT person.
Also goes in reverse. Here are probably a lot of good IT specialist who wouldn't pass any comptia test. Not because they are bad IT guys or don't have the necessary skill/knowledge...
No... Just because CompTIA tests are worded in such a way that you actually doubt that every answer could actually be right and fit the question...
They are playing on words and even if you're the best IT guy in the world but lack the reading skills and English collocation of a perfect native Shakespeare writer, you're going to fail ^^.
But that's on purpose 🤑🤑🤑.
