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?

    What?

    I disagree! For decades I haven’t touched windows for professional use. Yes you might need it as a client os but answering the question yes, it’s possible.

        ‘for professional use’ aka I am not in any way connected to the maintenance or responsible for it.

        There’s a big difference there. Using windows maintained by whoever to connect or maintain other systems.

        What you working in IT?
