Why would you be hesitant to learn (one or more flavors of) linux and python? I’d call such learning autotelic, but even if it’s not fun for you, there are thousands of things in life (including but not limited to many diverse career paths) that are improved by the ability to get a computer to help you do stuff.
You should include your opportunity cost in the question, though. What’s the next-best thing you will be (not “could be”, but actually expect with the same likelihood as learning linux and python) doing if NOT learning these things. Learning windows administration details and C# is probably pretty valuable. Learning accounting standards and how to talk to business people is valuable. Actually working for someone and learning their specific business is valuable.
Reading less wrong and learning/discussing/exploring far-mode rationality is valuable too, but probably a lot less than the above options.
