You now may be wondering, "where do I go from here?"; most people ask the same question after learning a new skill, and here are my two cents on what to do after learning Linux:
- Put your new skill to work! If you don't keep practicing what you have learned, you will eventually lose it.
- Validate your skill! Employers will surely love it if you have a Linux certification, such as the Linux Foundation LFCS/LFCE certifications or Red Hat RHCSA/RHCE certifications.
- Make money! Linux is in huge demand; start applying for Linux jobs.
- Become a Linux kernel developer! If you are a programmer or you want to become one, you might want to consider learning about the Linux kernel, and maybe one day you can become a Linux kernel contributor.
- Learn another skill! You have now learned Linux; you might want to learn about cloud computing, cybersecurity, or computer networking. It really depends on what your end goal is and your areas of interest.
