From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Top paying technologies interestingly has Go, Rust and Zig almost same medium salary, and very close (in that order). Immadiately followed by "Bash/Shell"? Yet, the most used languages such as Python and JavaScript are way down. Funny how Bash and Shell scripting is more used than Java, C#, C++ and C, while on the same time earns more money than those languages.
Can you make a living as a "Bash"/"Shell" programmer? :D
DevOps is often glorified Bash programming.
and you spend your entire tenure trying to convert it into another language while simultaneously adding to the pile.
