To be fair, you asked for it :-)

As for how one falls in the Linux space, it  used to be just by
chance, but now that it is a fully professionalized field I suppose
you would study operating systems in Uni and then move on to an entry
position in a place where Linux is prevalent.

Most companies nowadays won't take self thought people (a shame
really) and with the prevalence of  certifications many  are not
evening considering applicants without one.
