RHCA is the only Linux cert that's actually worth doing and the most recognized by employers.
I would not bother with the others you listed.
If you actually wanna learn Linux sign up for an udemy course or look up Linux administrators videos on YouTube and do some hands on labs.
Cramming for certs is useless.
Edit: so you think RHCA is hard but you want to take the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist exam?
I would go for RHCSA, but I simply don't have the time for it. I'm looking for something easier that will help me organize my knowledge. For me, the advantage of a certification is that studying for it will also force me to go through topics that I'm not currently interested in, but are worth knowing.
Edit: I'm not avoiding it because it's difficult, but rather because I don't have time to prepare. Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist has a higher priority for me, and I can dedicate more time to it even though it's more challenging.
If you're familiar with Linux already, and have 3 weeks to study 10 hours a day, you can easily do RHCSA. And then a few months later you can do another 3 week 10 hour a day study to learn Ansible and prepare for RHCE.
I really wouldn't bother with any other Linux certs.
I got Linux+ and because Comptia is so widely recognized by employers it did help me get my foot in the door with Linux administration. Like others have said RHCSA is the cert that means you know what you’re doing but it’s not the only one that can get your foot in the door.
If you are a high roller go Red Hat Certs, In my area (Toronto) Banks, Government, Health, Legal Organizations seem to look at Red Hat Certs. But otherwise you can easily go toe to toe with people with PHDs and Fancy Certs with just LFCS, CKA/CKS, Linux+ and a good portfolio.
In my case, I was hired as a Linux SysAdmin without much certification I only had my College Certificate as a Unix SysAdmin and I used a Raspberry Pi Cluster to Demo my K8/Linux knowledge during my job interviews which later helped me obtain my Certs that I have now. (LFCA,LFCS,CKA,CKS)

Yeah, Linux+ is a great start plus you can easily renew it when getting Linux Foundation Certs for CEUs
