- Hey, calm down. It was a pretty funny (read: noob) thing to say. In case you’re interested, it would have been better to say the programming language or command toolset you were using, instead of the operating system. In the interest of helping you career-wise, the sooner you realize that saying things like “used linux to calculate…” is silly, the better your chances of getting a job will be (don’t believe us? tell it to a (competent) interviewer and see how long it takes to be shown the exit).</p>
