Theres also serious though niche demand for people with trades knowledge and IT skills too. Plus knowing how to automate all your reports is always helpful.
Things to consider if you have that IT kinda mind and don’t mind playing in the mud. Instrumentation and Controls Technician, always need someone who can mess with comms and networking bullshit. And im some places can get into automation programming, called mechatronics sometimes? HVAC/building automation technician. Industrial electrician focussing on trying to get into commissioning and PLC programming/automation.
Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?
I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.
Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I’ve found.
If you’re not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.
If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there’s a bad one. That’s how my arch laptop is set up.
Personally wouldn’t use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there’s something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.
