> Not knowing one's way around linux is a sign of lack of curiosity and passion for the topic

Complete bullshit. The only thing it's a sign of is that you're not curious or passionate about linux.

Knowing about and being interested in linux may be a positive signal, but the opposite is not a negative signal.

Knowing linux is not a requirement to be a good professional programmer working in webdev.

Exactly this. I feel like a lot of operating system enthusiasts forget that the operating system is, to many people, merely another tool to enable them to do something else. You can absolutely be enthusiastic about achieving an end result and not give a damn about the tools that got you there.
