Why Linux?

Hello Linux community!


I am just now getting into college for my software development degree and have been taking a myriad of classes, all of which interest me and get me going except for one. I have a class dedicated entirely to learning how Linux works. Its a required class but it just doesnt make sense to me why Im having to learn Linux commands and functions for this degree. That's what I mainly want to know: why should I be invested in learning Linux?


Usually when im stumped on a class, just being interested in it and seeing how cool the subject can be is what gets me motivated to study. So this would be a big help! Thanks so much :)
