So after 7 months from my switch to GNU/Linux i’ve been studying many aspects from the OS and after seeing this 2016 Linux Foundation Report a question has been on my mind lately.
How to improve my skills like a true specialist in open source?
Applying to a certification on Linux Foundation sounds a good idea but when converting the price to my currency, it gets a bit too expensive.
But do you want to become a dev? For sysadmin work (i.e. mostly non-dev) you probably really need some kind of Linux certification, but dev work (aside from getting a computer science degree or such) really mostly requires coding experience best proven with active contributions to open-source projects.
actually i want to get into both, dev for helping open source projects and sysadmin for spreading GNU/Linux on my town. apologies for my late reply, but lately i’ve been searching about it and as you said indeed certifications are mostly required on sysadmins job
