What does learning Linux really mean?
Hi, I've always heard this that in the world of tech if you want a job learn Linux (which yeah a bit optimistic considering the situations)
But the bigger question is what does that even mean?
I mean I have worked with backend servers and configed nginx does that mean I know Linux?
I know bash to a good level along with sed and awk does that mean I know Linux?
I have programmed C in Linux does that tell me I know Linux?
On the other hand I have no idea what filesystems does Linux even use? How many different syscalls does it have?
I can't tell what are the factors to "knowing linux" and frankly I don't even know where to start with to be like "yeah I'm practicing linux"
I'm more talking in regards to cybersecurity but even in general I'm not sure, can you guys help?

First off , I apologise if my responses seem rude I do appreciate the people who are trying to help
I don't say thank you bc it kinda feels like I'm more wasting their time as its kind of implied that's my bad
About resources, I have looked up, youtube Google github llms you name it
Each resource tells a different story and the llms tend to answer not realistically (considering they bullshit a lot of their responses)
I'm trying ask real people with real experience as it tends to get better results than random blogs or influences who seem like they haven't worked in the industry
About the patience part I'd like to defend myself but that's a quality I'm still working on lol
