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.

When looking for Linux tech jobs to apply to, a lot of them actually have Vim experience as a preferred quality. Can any experts confirm this?
Been in the industry for over 25 years, I have not once been asked to use vim. I mean, of course I do, but mostly I am the only vim user in my teams.
Nah. That's like bragging that you memorize a lot of Pi digits.
Some on the IT team in my company use vim, some use nano, some probably use notepad or something ridiculous.
It's just a text editor and knowing vim doesn't automatically make me assume you're competent at anything.
