Thanks but my point still stands: there's no entry-level roles, whether it's "Linux" or a Linux-based "DevOps" role. I'm actually working in a windows-based mostly-DevOps type role, but we use almost zero opensource tools and it's very Microsoft centric.
The closest Linux-y roles that I might have a shot at getting into are "cloud engineer" type roles, with a heavy emphasis on AWS - and I hate AWS with a passion (just as much as I hate Azure).
Regardless, the biggest issue is getting that interview call - now in the age of AI, people are faking their CVs and companies are getting flooded with hundreds or thousands of junk applications, so getting that interview call - especially when you don't meet their professional experience requirements - is next to impossible. I could have all the Kuberneres certs in the world, but what's the point if I get filtered out right at the first stage?
