From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is the Linux Foundation Certified System Admin (LFCS) worth it? (reddthat.com)

I've been a software engineer for 10 years now but want to work with Linux more in a professional setting (not to mention the number of layoffs in the the dev industry has me thinking a backup plan might be a good idea). I have been using Linux exclusively on my personal machine for about 15 years now so I'm not too worried about passing the LFCS but I'm wondering of its worth it. What kind of job opportunities would it open for me? Should I focus more on dev ops? Security? Straight SysAdmin?

Dockerhub isn't a hard requirement though, there are other container registries out there

No, but that's what everyone ends up using and the thing is designed to work really well with dockerhub and not so much with others.
