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.

To be fair, this is my experience in academic computer science also
Edit: didn't click the link before commenting, this is referencing what universities already teach
To be fair, this is my experience in environmental sciences too.
But okay, it was pretty broad. Like, pretty much everything scientific, data.
But no language courses, not much programming, missing stuff here and there.
But my Uni also encouraged (actually enforced) to choose random extra courses.
