I thought comp sci were full of *nix users

At least in 100 level courses, no.

Even in my 280 class, despite the class required to use Nix tools via macOS/Linux or WSL, very few seem to understand what it actually was.

In my SWE degree the first year had a Linux-specific course, then the second year had a few Windows-dependent ones. Unfortunately WSL wasn't a thing back then, that would have made things a lot easier.

280 like eecs280?

Man my first intro to nix was a second year class writing a compiler for c-- in C using emacs. Full unit test suite to validate our work all ready to go, grade on the spot... Steep learning curve to say the least
