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.

Tl:dw; She's a social person and cobol is an antisocial type of job, there's nothing wrong with the cobol job industry as a whole, and it's generally an incredibly stable position to have.

That’s a good summary. It also pays about the same as a YouTuber, considering she’s able to continue sustaining herself with the career change.
