Linux is Everywhere
Hello and welcome
to Information Technology HelpDesk Online!
Linux is everywhere;
Linux jobs are everywhere. There is a demand for Linux skills in just about
every industry and job category on the planet, and not enough Linux talent to
meet this growing demand. It’s also fun and rewarding to work with something
that’s so much a part of our modern lives yet which so few people understand.
If someone says they
have Linux experience, it might refer to configuring systems, running web
servers, or any number of other services and programs that operate on top of
Linux. Over time, Linux administration has evolved to encompass just about
every task that a modern business, educational institution, or government
organization might use in their daily operations.
The journey of
learning you are beginning today has no ending point. It can take you in a
myriad of different directions, from cybersecurity to application and game
development, system administration, networking, big data, and artificial
intelligence; all of these fields are rooted in Linux.
Every time you execute
a search on the internet, watch a video on your phone, or order something
online, that’s likely Linux at work. It epitomizes a whole that is greater than
the sum of its parts, a vast undertaking, done voluntarily, by some of the
smartest people on the planet.
While your journey
will be ongoing, be comforted that you are learning a set of technologies,
commands, and methods that have stood the test of time. Linux utilizes and
expands upon many of the commands and ways of accomplishing computing that UNIX
began, with a rate of change per year that’s very manageable. Now, some 30+
years on, many of those learned commands are still active and used every day by
sysadmins, DevOps, and architects. Linux is a revolution of evolution, allowing
you to learn the majority once and keep up with the small percentage of changes
in a continual learning process.
