Just a direction thought

Been studying for the Linux + cert. Basically forcing myself to eat, sleep and breath linux. Thought came to my mind today when i was listening to a podcast today. Now the Redhat certs i've heard about are no joke in obtaining them. Neither is the Linux + in my opinion. Now my question is since the Linux + is neutral vendor wise and Redhat(entry level) is vendor specific. Wouldn't it make better sense or be more easily obtainable for the Redhat cert first since it centralizes on a vendor. Or am I looking at it the wrong way? hmm

RHCSA is tough? Try EX442 or EX413
But, indeed, without an experience and some time on virtual machine or real gear it could be tough.
