I have 10-15 years of Linux experience for personal use and I have a few years of IT support work in the cloud but I still have some gaps in my tech knowledge, especially in regards to networking. I recently lost my job to AI and I’m interested in what comes next. I won’t touch windows. I don’t want to install it, image it, use it, support it, etc.
Is it possible to get into an IT career without ever acknowledging the existence of windows?
Probably varies a lot between countries and universities. In my university, you were better off, if you were on Linux. But I’ve heard horror stories from the US before, where Windows was mandatory…
My undergrad was set up for Windows as the default assumption. Eventually I figured out you could visit the IT help desk and they would help you set up the VPN another way.
How about the Mac generation, that only know how to use Apple products
No idea, but I have not yet heard of a computer science department going exclusively for Apple…
Quite a few school districts in the 1990s and 2000s did in the USA.
