Advice on setting up new Trailhead/developer/playground account

Hi! I'm just starting my Trailhead journey and wanted to pick your brains about how to best set this all up!

I will be leaving my company in a few weeks, yesterday I started Trailhead by logging in with LinkedIn (rather than a seperate new account).
Today I realised that when had I clicked to create the Trailhead Playground, this looks like it's linked to my SF work account which will be disappearing.

I have followed some advice posted here and created a developer account so I have the sandbox to play with, but it doesn't have the already-created playground setup that was created from Trailhead with my other account.

So.... should I start again with Trailhead using my Developer account to learn against (rather than the LinkedIn login).. will this allow me to create the playground pre-setup environment?

Also if I do this, and I'm not logged in to LinkedIn whilst progressing with Trailhead, is it just as easy to show badges etc from Linkedin if you're using a specified dev account rather than being logged into LinkedIn itself?

Thanks.
