- Cybersecurity – Cybersecurity professionals monitor and investigate security threats to data on systems. Linux is used in cybersecurity to carry out system penetration testing and assess the vulnerability of a system.
- Developing/Programming – Developers and programmers design computer applications. The Linux command-line allows developers and programmers to script; a function that allows a user to put commands together to execute complex actions on a computer. Linux is also used in this field because only Linux allows users to access its source code, giving users the ability to experiment with the code and learn by doing.
- Data Analysis – Data analysts and scientists sort and analyze data sets to find patterns in order to report and predict trends and behavior. Data analysts use Linux due to the wide array of tools and commands available for data analysis, such as MySQL and more.
