bash is still worth studying deeply. It's a big part of the DevOps workflow and you will use it all the time.

Never wanted to learn C++ 👎

Rust, OTOH... 😍

I know it's a hard pill to swallow but I find myself in the same situation. You just have to grind on your own time.

You don't need certifications to get any of those jobs. What you need is a portfolio of relevant projects and showing your work.

IMHO, AX200 has better long-term support and is less flaky than the MediaTek cards.

You have a severe reading comprehension problem if that was your takeaway.

"Just one in eight nondegree credentials delivered notable pay gains within a year of completion."

"A lot of credentials are being designed based on a loose understanding of what it takes for somebody to get hired in the field."

"These certificates, digital badges and other nondegree credentials have proliferated as more academic institutions and other providers spot a lucrative business."

"Many credentials don’t provide a pay boost or lead to a career transition."

"...most programs deliver few material returns, a new study finds."

The line can be blurry, but generally if you need to install the upstream distribution first and then apply the project's configurations, it's typically considered a config layer rather than a distinct distro.

For instance, Manjaro is Arch-based but maintains its own repositories, has its own release cycle, and provides its own installation process. It's more of a derivative distro rather than just a configuration layer.

IMO, Omarchy falls into the "opinionated configuration" category rather than a true distro b/c it requires you to "install Arch Linux first btw."
