From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't tend to use awk in scripts as I do tend to do them in Python, but I do use awk on almost daily basis in one-liners.
Probably the most common thing for me is so I can read a config file without annoying comments and big line spaces.
grep -v "^#" krb5.conf | awk NF
I used awk in a physics computer simulations course I had at the university. That's a nice tool to know how to use
No, but I heavily use perl still... I feel like you can't really call yourself a Linux person without knowing perl and python both. Knowing awk can't hurt though.
Just use awk and when needed ask ChatGPT for the syntax of the command
