The specific thing you spend the most time doing instead of the actual job you're being paid to do is your new profession. What's your new job title?

weirdly I'm still a Linux administrator but with way more fun services to maintain.
Can I ask how you got a job as a Linux administrator?
Easy, you mention you want to use BSD and the other IT guys give you that look.
I'm stuck on RHEL lmao but using BSD for work would be fun
I'm not a Linux admin, but I think there are certifications you can get and exams you can take to show you understand stuff about shell scripting and related topics, if that's what you're interested in.
I think they have questions like "Make it so a welcome message and the time display when someone logs into your Linux server", among other, harder things.
I don't know a huge amount about the job market, but just saying you have those kinds of skills on your CV along with a bit of experience in some other tech/coding/data stuff might even be enough.
Been using Linux for 25 years so i don't know if it's comparable to today but ironically it was setting up game servers for fun. Then i applied for a game sever hosting provider. i think they have mostly died out now. Then just kinda jumped over to web hosting this was before cloud was a thing. Then kinda moved into internal IT running corporate IT. The nice thing being 100% Linux admin i don't have to mess with AD and FSMO. Even though I know how to i keep quiet about that.
