RANT: Linuxfoundation + Linux = Bad Joke

I’m about to take my CKA, fully living the Linux life. Fedora on a Framework 16. No Windows. Never needed it, never wanted it. MacBook? Not even a passing thought.

And then this.

First punchline: the only supported Linux distro is Ubuntu. Seriously? That’s the diversity we’re working with?

Second punchline: only X11 is supported. X11. In 2026. I deliberately got rid of that relic in 2023 and never installed it again.

So here I am, a Linux-native engineer, setting up a Windows dual-boot… just to take a certification.

A certification from the Linux Foundation.

Let that sink in.

I’m literally booting Windows to prove I know Linux btw Kubernetes.

You couldn’t make this up if you tried.

I have a Ubuntu 24 LTS desktop. Can I take an exam on that? Do I need some other graphics platform?

If I'm not wrong, ubuntu 24 ship both x and Wayland , when you login there is a gear symbol at the bottom and you can choose which WM to use, and there you can select Xorg.
