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.

You are already drowning in downvotes.

So what? I'm not a politician running a politically correct popularity contest and saying what people want to hear to win votes. I'm just stating what is omitted from the article and what is a fact as you eventually got there:

Really the only application that managers are likely to have any specialist knowledge around is Excel. I will admit that knowing Excel specifically vs other spreadsheet applications is useful. Being able to do a VLOOKUP, a pivot table, or even just proper multi-sheet formulas is useful

Honestly though, the Internet is littered with $19 Excel courses. Take one.

Yes, and will a gen-Z take them? Isn't just easier to gradually expose them to those tools so they learn naturally without the pressure of getting to some job?
