What actually is supposed to be the ideal way to learn? Say, for someone trying to be a sysadmin

Here’s a nickel kid. Get yourself a better computer.

If you want to be a sysadmin learn Linux/Unix. Basic bash scripting might be useful down the line to help understand a bit of what’s going on under the hood.

IMHO networking would probably be a better secondary place to focus for a sysadmin track rather than OOP concepts, algorithms etc.

Thank you for the response. I'll be sure to up my PC hardware game soon since I have plans to leap into a career shift. What kinds of specs would look good in your opinion?

It’s a reference from an old comic

As for Linux stuff grab something small and low powered (raspberry pi etc) and start installing some distros! The possibilities are really endless. Setup a network wide ad blocker, start your own IPTV server, you can setup a networked radio receiver, WireGuard for VPNs. Immerse yourself and figure out what you find interesting.
