If you are a student/newbie and want to learn Linux, we recommend that you choose the more popular Linux Foundation certification or CompTIA Linux. If you already know oracle or suse, or work on their products, the oracle/suse certification will be better. If you work in the company, these certifications will be helpful for your career growth :-)
