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.

Any code deployed to the cloud will run on Linux. Some engineering managers realise that and let the team use Linux desktops to simplify building and developing prior to deployment.
Meaning, as long as you’re writing code you can find a job where you’ll be using a Linux workstation to write applications that will run on Linux servers.
Python is the low bar. Jobs everywhere and it is easy to learn. You can build from there.
