Thank you for the information. Very helpful

He hit it on the nail..take the LPIC first then the Linux+ an you will clinch the Linux+ with your eyes closed..Thanks for the share big guy 🤟🏽

I studied the first 15 chapters of LPIC 1 (part 1) and have had to drop it, because while it does give me theoretical knowledge of Linux, it doesn't actually make me much better at using / administering Linux. Therefore I've switched to RHCSA to get way more hands on experience.

You explain this in a completely clear and unambiguous way. Thank you so much for that.

It sorta always surprised me that CompTIA didn't have their own exam. There was even a time you could get THREE for one, as the OpenSUSE cert was tied in there too. (I think that was the third anyway, it's been a few years) Thanks for the kind words!

I assumed Linux+ was an entry level exam, considering when you learn it in college programs. Huge mistake, it requires previous hardware and network knowledge that isn't provided with the CompTIA materials.

Very helpful Shawn

all these time i'm confused which is better? after this video all things became clear. thanks shawn

Very clear thank you

Shawn i'm getting old...waiting for your lpic v5 course mate lol :) come on i know there is a course there but when it comes to linux first name that pops in my head is Shawn! Thanks to you i got few certs over the years and now it's time to update and keep up lol please if you ever get free time sort out lpic-1 v5 and maybe linux+ along side with it :) but please do it because you are amazing teacher and i know if i watch your tutorials i am exam ready and confident out there. take care and many thanks

Great video... Not sure why any body would give it a thumbs down 🤷🏽‍♂️

Very helpful information!! It still rubs me wrong that comptia certs aren't for life.

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

There are 2 other benefits of the L+: 1 - you get to renew ALL your CompTIA certs. If you pass, the 3 year expiration resets. 2 - The L+ stackable with the A+. If you have the A+ and L+ you automatically get the "CompTIA Systems Support Specialist" (CSSS). FWIW. I'm doing the L+ FIRST but will go the LPIC-1 SECOND. And then in a perfect world I'd wrap all LPIC and move into RH. HR folks love to see a dozen ACTIVE certs.

The answer people were looking for is actually quite simple, not which is better. But which is commonly more hirable.

Seems your dog more interesed to know about competia & Linux+ It was sleeping during your explaination of LPICs.😁😀 Great video .. thank you

just wondering how the linux foundation CSA cert fits in? some other videos on youtube said it was the best of the three.

great explanation

Hi. Its are great video for me. Thanks.

Which of the 2 would serve as a good prerequisite for RHCSA?

Thanks for the explanation, it only makes me sad that I will have to pay for 2 certifications :(

what about the linux foundation cert?

I have a "CompTIA Linux+ powered by Linux Professional Institute Study Guide" from 2013. I'm sure either test would be covered enough by this book, which test would be best given this study guide? Thank you for your videos!

sooo, now I'm preparing myself for security plus next will be networking and after that linux + somebody pressed rewind button on me or what?

My very first certification will be Linux Essentials (LPI) i dont have no CompTIA certs at all but im will to start off with Linux

thanks mate

Does this mean that I can get more job opportunities with CompTIA than with LPIC-1?

Linux specific is more my speed. That is what I was looking for.

*diggin that DANIEL DEFENSE on the wall behind ya!!*

How long are linux plus and lpic-1 certificates officially recognized by employers? or when do you have to renew these certificates?

What is the purpose of Linux Foundation certification and how do you break it down? Also could it be a qualification as good as LPIC'S or RHCSA'S?

From what I know Linux Foundation admin exam is hands on, not multiple choice. I don't think is well known like Linux+ or Lpic, but it shows you know what u doing if u pass. Don't quote me but I think u get a free retake. Red Hat is also practical, but Linux Foundation is vendor neutral

If they are essentially equivalent, what’s the benefit to doing both like you suggested at the end?

Are certs from the linux foundation just as good?

@@johntiles pretty good. I'm in process of going through all the videos and writing down all of the notes for everything so then i don't have to watch them anymore and can just break them down into sections and read them. Ive made flashcards of a lot of the linux commands. By the end of this month i should be done with the videos and then can just focus on learning them 1 by 1... i hope to be ready to proceed for official exams by about july. Since ill just need to know enough to score 70% on a 40 question test that will be an overview of all 4... then once i pass that i proceed to train and sit the real cysa+ exam once i have an understanding. But I'm enjoying the hacking stuff the most to be honest lol. Thats where my real passion and interest lies. So im thinking i may take the OSCP after and do professional pen testing as a career... we will see how it goes... but basically my life right now is making the sacrifice for work. I cant rest or relax until i know this work is done! And i still have quite the hill to climb!... but ill get there... by the end of the year i should be in a very good spot and i should be a professional hacker by next year ;)

@@johntiles I was in the same boat. I was always good with computers but I didn't have the qualifications to prove it, it was all just personal experience. The sad reality is though that in the job market having things on paper matters. I originally applied to go back to college at 25 considering the computer science route but got rejected. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with life until I got a little bit older... I made foolish decisions when I was young and dropped out of school. But then this cybersecurity traineeship kind of fell on my lap when I needed it most. Things work strange in life, this opportunity really found me when I was ready for it. And I gotta tell you... things are surely looking up! I now work in a law firm fixing computers for solicitors. it's only a small company with 60 or so people and I have such a cozy job dude! it's a complete step up from where I was at just for getting the CompTIA A+ exams! and I know where I'm going in life, I have a direction, goals, and heading for that next step up! and now that I'm learning about professional hacking, I am really enjoying that too! there's some really great information and it's good to learn a skill like that. I would advise you gotta go for it dude! it's hard work and it will consume your life a bit, you do have to study, put in the time and the hours. but you gotta look at it like it's X amount of time to invest for the rest of my future! I recommend checking professor messor channel for help with A+, Network+, Security+. He's really good! I had professional videos I'd paid for on those courses and they were not as good as his in my opinion. Let me know what you decide to do and keep me posted on your journey if you remember lol. It is certainly not a bad decision though.... Trust me!

how Linux Essentials compares with LPIC-1 ?

I wish the Linux+ renewed the Net+. That would be a nice incentive to pick CompTia's training/cert for my first Linux qualification.

Your cat wasn't happy with the explanation.... "I am bored, let me just go back to sleep!" :-D

Hmm, didn't know any distro can be used, good thing to know. Want to get into security. Maybe I can take LPIC and instead of Linux+ I'll take the Kali certification to be ready for more advanced security certs. Anyone got an opinion on this?

Learn networking and linux basics before pentesting with kali. If you didn't know that any distro can be used I take that you are VERY new to linux.

I like the content (it's very similar, to be honest) -- but the testing process was HORRIBLY buggy when I took the exam. It crashed constantly, and I had to reconnect to the proctor, etc. Plus, the virtual environment you test in uses absurdly complex pathnames, and copy/paste doesn't work reliably. The material was great. The test itself was frustrating.

Than why is CompTIA Linnux+ is more popular than LPIC and most importantly Linux+ graduates get job much faster than LPIC.
