It will always be a toy of geeks. Not making a judgement on thats the way it should be, just stating the reality.
If you want to really learn to earn money.......... Vmware/SAN/Security/AD will get you the most opportunities in I.T. shops.

... Is this a real thing? Linux is slowly eroding most of the Unix market. You can make money in a ton of areas in IT. I'd say being an Oracle DBA with experience with a T1 ERP is really strong whether it's SAP, EBS, etc. It seems like those guys can get laid off and have a job within a week.
I'm surprised OEL hasn't received more recommendations in this thread. I know of at least 3 big corps switching to OEL over the last 2 years. Granted, it's pretty much RHEL. Support is so cheap though, lol. Of course, if Oracle can kill Canonical they'll come back with the rape mode on the pricing.
When Oracle bought Ksplice that was a big deal.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much running Linux as a home OS will help the OP but it can't hurt for sure. It can be a real challenge for even basic stuff. Wireless in particular can be a real bitch
