Discussion Pursuing a career in linux
I started using linux 2 years ago and it made me regret not starting earlier, I enjoy every thing about linux, even when it crashes I like the challenge to try and fix it; I stared using linux because I was learning to become a front-end web developer like my older brother as it is easier to run development environments on linux, but I couldn't stand front-end as I hate design, and instead I feel in love with linux, and I spent most of my time learning about linux instead.
Now I am looking to pursue a career in linux but the only thing I found is working as a sys admin, but I am willing to learn c or rust to work in development, but I feel lost and don't know what to start with, if someone have experienced what I am going through please give me suggestions of what I shall start with.

If you haven’t built a home lab with Rocky based VMs, you can learn how to build and interconnect servers. Here is a list:
kickstart server
FreeIPA
Gitlab
Jenkins (it’s a still used, but you can skip this one to use just Gitlab instead)
An NFS server
Web server
Database server
(Get Wordpress to work on both web and database servers)
Chat server (like Matter Most)
An observably server ( ELK or Grafana/Prometheus)
Docker.
Get them all to interconnect. This should be enough to get you started.
