What I'd give to have someone who's Linux experience isn't using a Mac and using brew to install stuff.

I'm the only one with formal Linux experience on my team and I'm the only one who doesn't have to look up how to get to the logs...

Been daily driving desktop Debian for dang-near a decade now (heh). I've also maintained a gradually-evolving app hosting service for clients for even longer, covering all kinds of stuff. Current architecture includes LXC and nginx. And, I've got BSD experience too.

Job market sucks for me too.

To be fair journalctl practically requires its own book

There's the argument that Systemd is an operating system unto itself.

Oh that's an easy problem to solve, just use: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux :p

Despite its standard Homebrew warts, I've been using Homebrew on Linux for years now for my dev boxes and it's been great.

It's good for getting the latest versions of packages, both for things that aren't in the distro and even to override distro packages. So far almost everything Just Works alongside the distro packages (at least for Ubuntu LTS).

Is it pure Ops. Or also coding? I've managed Linux servers for nigh 20~ years at SMB's and personally. Kubernetes is misery

Desktop experience is pretty much irrelevant to the parts of Linux that makes money.
