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.

The company I work at only works with windows Servers
OpenSSH runs on windows server as well. You can definitely SSH in to run commands.
Or just use VSCode to run remote terminals and never leave your own VSCode instance to fully manage all your servers, Windows and Linux.
I have pets too!
Same... The principal engineer on this project also referred to me learning C# as my first exposure to a "real programming language"
After already being advanced in Python
And familiar with C, C++, JavaScript.
I think what he meant by "real" is it comes out of the box with proprietary windows components that aren't going to work anywhere else and don't have human readable code.
How does one even made such a decision, who is sane and knows technology?
Because our chef's a linux hater and he also got like stuck in the 80s
omg... why would you work for a company like this? Working with shitty technology all day could lead to depression.
