Security+ is mostly a joke, but also it primarily focuses on basic network and physical security as well as general security hygiene, not Linux or data center security.
If you’re going the sysops/datacenter ops route and want to stick to CompTIA then Linux+ would be your path before specializing based on a job path that’s actually hiring. But if you want to go that path ccna will help you far more than anything else CompTIA provides at the entry level. That all being said the other anon is right, certs don’t have a lot of weight without specific projects you can point to in interviews to show actual application of knowledge.
