There is a lot of Linux (and Android) out there
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems).
About 30 years ago I built a 15-bit computer as part of a computer
science class. I'm glad I learnt those skills, but I'm sure glad there
are engineers who can cram billions of circuits into a watch or a phone
whereas I could only deal with a small finite number of circuits on a
couple of bread boards. I've been writing LPI tutorials for probably
close on 20 years now and I've seen both Linux and the LPI objectives
change over that time. I think Linux is still very relevant, but you
can't sit still on a fixed set of skills.
If you think Linux doesn't affect the general population, take a look at
https://www.marketplace.org/2019/01/30/tech/trying-cut-tech-giants-out-your-life-even-harder-you-think
- try living without Google and Amazon AWS! No Uber. No Netflix. And
goodness only knows what else you lose!

I like that!
Sometimes I think that this new age has to do with recycling old
knowledge through new terms. For example, it's obvious that developers
should know something about system administration and vice versa.
However I feel sometimes that "we" want to apply automation
everywhere. Imagine a "Modern Times" movie of 21th century....
solutionism everywhere....

This is why Red Hat has been pushing the "Containers are Linux"
marketing.
I'm curious if the greater LPI community could come up with some ideas
to push that reality, and the community could proliferate that -- ad
hoc -- especially since LPI offers a DevOps certification as well.
Any ideas? Maybe ... (this took me all but 15 seconds)
"Don't know Linux = Don't know Containers! Know Linux."
I'm sure you guys can come up with something better.
