Hello,
Long-time Unix hacker here - I've worked on four variants of the kernel prior to the introduction of Linux. In my spare time, I've written Linux (Ubuntu) device drivers, kernel modules, cross-compiled, and built the kernel.
I'd like to do Linux internals/device drivers as a day job, but every recruiter has said that unless I have "paid Linux experience" they won't submit my resume to their clientele - the ones with the jobs.
How did you make the jump to Linux at work? My employer has me maintaining a legacy OS and would prefer if I did NOT retrain. (I would have tried to jump ship long before now but had family commitments.)
Thank you!
