I have 10-15 years of Linux experience for personal use and I have a few years of IT support work in the cloud but I still have some gaps in my tech knowledge, especially in regards to networking. I recently lost my job to AI and I’m interested in what comes next. I won’t touch windows. I don’t want to install it, image it, use it, support it, etc.

Is it possible to get into an IT career without ever acknowledging the existence of windows?

    Computer science is just mathematics, you can do it with pen and paper. The actual IT jobs where you don’t have to touch windows are plentiful, although it might be a bit of a red flag if you’re vehemently refusing to touch some specific software (be it windows, or any other program, or programming language).
