The specific thing you spend the most time doing instead of the actual job you're being paid to do is your new profession. What's your new job title? (lemmy.world)

I'm not a Linux admin, but I think there are certifications you can get and exams you can take to show you understand stuff about shell scripting and related topics, if that's what you're interested in.

I think they have questions like "Make it so a welcome message and the time display when someone logs into your Linux server", among other, harder things.

I don't know a huge amount about the job market, but just saying you have those kinds of skills on your CV along with a bit of experience in some other tech/coding/data stuff might even be enough.
