Hello,

I have my A+, I use GNU/Linux a lot and I was wondering, should I go after my Linux+ certification? I have been using Linux for about 3 years daily for everything. I feel like I have pretty good knowledge, but people have said to do Network+, Security+, and then Linux+. I would still say I’m intermediate, although I want to mainly take this certification to learn more so I can start getting on the more advanced side of things. I would also like to move onto a Linux-based job.

Edit: I received my CompTIA A+ certification one year ago, and have had a job in IT for nearly a year so far.

    LinusTechTips has an incredibly recent video on this exact topic. Of course they were immediately sued or whatever so you can only watch on reuploads. https://youtu.be/IsUen26Cufs

    I wouldn’t support the company, but I also think certifications are mostly useless.

      Thanks for the reply. I’ll watch the video later today. Is it really not worth going after my Network+ or Linux+? I would really like to advance my knowledge on both of these.
