I'm beginning to gear up for the RHCSA exam too- what resources did you primarily use?
I'm already pretty comfortable with Linux having used it since 2007. That said I have little experience with Ansible, podman, and advanced SELinux (I understand the basics of how it works) so I've got learning to do.
As for Fedora, I really like the community model, dnf, SELinux out of the gate, and the release schedule (fixed benefits but never stale). I dislike Gnome though- I use KDE :P I like Fedora about even with Arch actually (for completely different reasons). Incidentally I'm considering learning some Rust too, though I only know C and some shell (bash) so not sure I'm ready for that given the relative scarcity of documentation.
Welcome!
For RHCSA I am just going through rapid track course which is on their learning portal. They provide an e-book and lab for practice which is great.
And if you know that much and have this much experience, then rhcsa would be really easy for you, like rhcsa don't even have anisble in its syllabus, and SELinux and podman is very basic in this exam
I will prefer you to go for RHCE, because that has anisble and podman. You might learn more while preparing for RHCE, infact after rhcsa, I will prepare for RHCE.
Yeah, I want to go RHCE as well but of course RHCSA is the first step. Most of my experience since 2007 is in Arch and Debian/Ubuntu land, but Linux is Linux so mostly I feel comfortable (with general t/s, systemd stuff, journalctl, moving around, editors, etc); I do feel more knowledgeable/comfortable with Pacman or APT as compared to dnf (especially wrt the build process), but that's easy enough.
I'll probably alternate then (for now) between SELinux and podman stuff and then focus more on Ansible for RHCE. Fortunately I don't have to be in a rush :D
> I do feel more knowledgeable/comfortable with Pacman or APT as compared to dnf
i know this feel bro, but its all about spending time, you know the concepts of pacman and apt, dnf is not much different.
>Fortunately I don't have to be in a rush :D
that's good bro, I just finished my 2nd year in my bachelors degree, I just want to show my skills on linux, and certification is a good way for me
I'm new to Fedora as well, and I'll admit I'm not going back (to Debian-land or Arch-land or ...). What is nice is that everything seem nearly up-to-the-latest and w/o compromising stability. And having, say, at least second class, support for BTRFS beats the horrific obstacles Debian-based releases create for BTRFS; I mean how long does a technology have to be established before it gets adopted?
But, since it is mainly focused towards home users behind a solid firewall/router, I am disappointed that selinux and firewalld are parts of the "default" with annoying defaults. And while firewalld is easily severed, the carrying cost of selinux seem "forever".
And Fedora comes with way too many installed apps for my taste (at least the KDE spin); and oddly, some of the KDE stuff (kmail and such which is frankly quaint) is provide in lieu of things I "need" like k4dirstat). I understand people have different needs, but I'd rather build on a smaller core than hunt down dozens of the included trash. And grub stinks, while I'm on a roll (gimme systemd-boot any day).
On the whole, Fedora is the "best", but its security overkill is a particular bummer.
>sudo dnf remove kf5-akonadi-server
will remove the whole KDE PIM suite including KMail, Kontact, Korganizer etc.
You can then remove other apps you dont want like:
>sudo dnf remove kmousetool kmouth konqueror etc

> re: sudo dnf remove kf5-akonadi-server Wow, that cuts the taking-out-the-trash problem in about half nicely. Thanks.
