"Why does it need a virtual machine in there (eBPF), which loads code from userspace? "

A one word answer? --- Developers.

Can see your points, though. Had a chuckle seeing a group of folks actually selling a graphical sudo. As if it does not exist in nearly ever modern graphical distro freely? They were raking in $50 a pop off suckers.

We get those same suckers coming in as developers. Well yes, really easy to see your points. "Linux, oh, there goes the neighborhood."

Run Debian here myself at home. I'm mostly just a tinkering hobby hacker, ethical. Not really "formally" learned any language, but can cobble from many to do "stuff". Think if one spends a week "playing around" with ASM, they might better themselves or decide upon an honorable death. Self foot shoot in.

Have given thought to going for LPI 1 system admin course, testing. Not really seeing a market East Coast wise. Everyone is still all happy happy joy joy over Microsoft crap. No explaining that 99% of backend is some form of Unix/Linux anyway, why not keep it simple, silly?

Nope, got to have Access, Exchange, Visual [whatever]. That Microsoft Mushroom Cloud I call it, keeps work in system administration using *nix few and far between.

"You cannot fight nuclear son. Go on home and shelter in place."

And that kind of "turns me off" of trying to get certified. Well, I'm certifiable anyway, but that misses the point. ;)

Interesting. I have been thinking about this a few years back. My then work mates suspected, that I'd just pass with flying colors, given what I do know. I'm no so sure, though. What made me not go to the tests is that they need to be refreshed. I'm not going to learn about Samba configuration. Never needed that. And an "embedded" flavour wasn't in sight.

I probably won't need the cert for the next 3 years or so, and after that I'm probably done with jobs.
