I more or less the same...

I took a vocatinol school for cybersec and now I am doing college for server admin.

Hopefully, everthing I learned transfers.

Oddly, this is my 5th year with linux.

I have had a weird journey with Linux, personally. I've used it many times in the past, and one of my earliest installs when I was a teen, I was self teaching through trial by fire recompiling my kernel and hoping it was bootable afterwards.

Later I did SUSE briefly, then LFS for the experience, then Gentoo stage 1 installs. Wasn't until several years later that I really got back into it with running Ubuntu servers at work. About 25 years of IT later, I'm switching back to Linux with OpenSUSE as my DD.
