Honestly, it depends on what kind of developer you are. If you are doing mostly web development, I don’t think you will need Linux specifically; Windows or macOS will be just fine. However, if you are doing embedded systems, robotics, etc., then learning it is a must. Sometimes when new engineers join, I tell them to learn Linux. Some start learning it while the majority just ignore it, only to find out a few months later that the embedded/SBC is running Linux and now they have to!
- marcosdumay 2y ago> If you are doing mostly web development, I don’t think you will need Linux specifically That leads to the nightmare that is Windows servers running custom code. Nope, if you are doing web development, you should learn Linux too. You are excused if you are doing Windows desktop software, or working on one of those proprietary platforms that only run on Windows. But even on the second case, you should learn Linux so you can look for alternatives, as they are a very degrading experience.
