Has anyone taken the Linux Foundation Certified Sysadmin Exam/Certification

Curious to know if there is any opinion or review of it by the people here, most people are vibe-workers here or OGs so I'm not expecting many replies.
But still, curious to know if anyone considered or took it.

Don't. Tried signing up for some cert a few years back. They changed the terms after I signed up, denied refund, and then when I tried to actually take the exam they forced me to use some shady browser extension in order to enter. Still denied refund after all this.
Hope they step barefoot onto some rusty old nails, especially Clyde Seepersad. He sucks.
Shady browser, you mean the Secure Browser extension right? The company behind it is pretty fine it is commonly used for exams esp their browser not just the extension but fair enough, idm installing a seperate browser for that anyways hell even a VM if I have to.
What terms did they change and did you end up taking the exam? Also there is a strict no refund policy I believe.
With any certificate, if you are self-funding it, be very careful. You may end up doing something else and there are so many certifications, you can do them until your pension age. If a company is paying then it does not matter, just do it
This. I was considering taking it but went with RHCSA just because it is valid for 3 years at roughly the same price.
If you work in the industry and the company paid = very good. If you work in the industry and self-paid = okish. Most of the certs are valid for X years, it is a very good business.
i had it years ago .... was my first cert and was a proud mother f+ for days.
also good in cv
it bonifies interview questions "What level of Linux experience you have"
Yeah I've heard the same from someone, the exam is a PAIN IN THE BUTT and the killer.sh simulations are very intermediate in difficulty. I'm gonna take CCNA before the LFCS so hope I don't end up with a sore ass next year.
I'm looking at only $267 after sales so this is a much affordable cert in regards to RHCSA and honestly I don't even work with RHEL or have deployed it ever.
wait for black friday day.
Yes for 2027, taking it then.
