💻 Windows vs. Linux: Which Skills Pay More in IT?

Most of us know Windows — it’s familiar, user-friendly, and still dominant in most IT shops.

But Linux? That’s where the real money starts to show up — especially in cloud, DevOps, and cybersecurity.

🎯 In this episode, I break down:
• The real pros of knowing Windows vs. Linux as an admin
• Which one helps you get hired faster
• Which one helps you earn more
• How each OS shows up in different roles and industries
• Pay comparisons between entry-level and senior roles

👀 If you’re asking:
• “Do I really need to learn Linux?”
• “Is Windows still relevant?”
• “Which one makes me more valuable?”

This one’s for you.

🧠 Bottom line:
Windows gets you in the door — Linux helps you run the place.
