You are the minority but you can believe whatever you like.

The vast majority of developers I have worked with (and I've contracted a lot of places) know next to next to nothing about Linux. They can barely use a terminal (Powershell, CMD, Bash/Zsh) and often can't do anything outside of the IDE.

If they do use Linux. It be on a Raspberry PI that gets stuck in a drawer after a few months.

To those that keep voting me down on this. The teams and environments you work in are the outliers. I've had to accept that I am in the minority as a Linux user even amongst software professionals.

Yeah, I'm probably a minority. That doesn't mean that nobody uses linux, just that it's less common.

    I never said that nobody uses Linux. I said that it was extremely uncommon even amongst developers.

      I'm willing to believe that this is just a misunderstanding resulting from nonliteral exaggerated language for effect, but ... yes, you did.
