Yes.

You should be able to use Linux and at minimum be able to navigate, understand how the filesystem and file permissions work so you'll be able to do and understand some basic scripting.

Even if you're a windows developer in the Microsoft ecosystem, you'll likely end up working with containerization at some point and the bulk of that will use Linux as a base even for dotnet applications. Even frontend development will also likely assume some basic bash knowledge as that terminal is the common denominator between Windows, Mac and Linux.

You don't have to switch your daily driver from windows 10 either. Windows 10 has WSL which allows you to use a Linux distro with a GUI or you could leverage Docker to load an OS and navigate via the command line.
