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.

Curious if anyone has any comparisons or comments in regards to other certifications like RHCSA/RHCE? I know Oracle also has a cert and someone else brought up CompTIA Linux+ not being great. Which ones carry more weight professionally?
The Red Hat ones are definitely tuned to Red Hat Environments. If you‘re sure you only walk in the RedHat Ecosystem, then you should go for RHCE or RHCSA. I had a Red Hat Learning subscription once, and they never mentioned other Linux systems at all, only Red Hat. Unfortunately I never went down the Red Hat only route so my company opted for the LPI certification. The LPI certification also touch a lot of stuff that isn’t essential for every day system administration like openvpn and its various parameters.
From my personal experience, I know more people that have LPIC 1 or 2 certification than a Red Hat one. But this could just be the German market.
Thanks for the reply! I don’t think I’ll do anything specific to RH, so I should probably stick to LPI. Any thoughts on the Linux Foundation Certifications (LFCS)?
Unfortunately I don’t have any information on those and since I already have LPIC 3-303 I’ll stick to those when it’s time to renew my certification
Not a problem, I appreciate your input!
