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.

Well, I'm still in Uni now, so internships sound like something that I should prioritize?
If I was still in uni I'd put all my time into software engineering and go straight to making software. DevOps is fun but you'll make way more money being a software engineer. My code is shit compared to a legit developer.
[e] actually I think embedded linux systems are going to continue to become more and more the rage. Low power, super efficient. Think huge advancements in robots in a very short while when absolutely every sensor can run a ghz SOC a quarter the size of a fingernail.
Get, good, at, C.
I haven't touched it in decades but I'm coming back to it so I can make Adruino/ESP32 projects.
If I did it again I would go into mycology and run around forests to collect samples, while some forests still exist.

You do that after you sell your startup to google and cash out for the rest of your life.
There is much more to life than being a screw in the machine that is killing all of us.

I didn't ask and I don't care what you think
I wasn't talking to you either, I was speaking in general, to the public about all of us. Who cares what you do?

The fucking bloke asking about my job, pillock.
