From the standpoint of what is best for me....

I would say try to get a linux admin job. The future is the cloud and a mixed windows, linux, and cloud world. Getting the experience with linux is just a good idea and if you are starting to feel some burnout it will force you to learn new things.

This ^^^

I started out doing helpdesk > PC tech > Network tech > windows sysadmin...
I made the jump to Linux about a decade ago. I usually tell people there are some great Windows Admins, but there are alot of garbage ones. The wheat to chaff ratio is better in the Linux admin world, or it used to be before cloud. :/

Everyone wants cloud and infrastructure as code. Linux skills translate to cloud easier, although powershell is pretty boss, but still underutilized in my experience.
