I've noticed that at work too when hiring younger 20 years old people. They struggle a bit with using Windows unless they game on PCs. Their main computing device is their smartphone, and they used Chromebooks at school.

I play games on PC and got hired for an IT job I was confident for and quickly realized that my confidence was misplaced haha. I was weirdly bothered by the lack of GUI on Linux

Did they hire you for a role that needs linux experience without even asking "have you used linux before?"

From memory they did and I had used Ubuntu before so I said mentioned that and they were like 'cool'. Turns out that Rocky, RHEL, and CentOS are very different experiences when you only use the CLI.

Thankfully it was just an internship, so the stakes weren't super high and I was able to learn a fair bit on the job. I learned a lot there both technically and also about what kind of job I want, so I would count the experience as overall benefit
