What you'll learn in this Linux course
So many developers go years before understanding the basics of shells, terminals, and Linux (or more generally Unix-like systems). Here you'll learn to navigate files and directories, install dependencies, configure your PATH, and use powerful CLI tools like grep, find, and pipes. Never fear the command line again, make it fear you.

This was a great and fun course on Linux basics. I'd played around with Linux in the past, but haven't done a lot of day to day admin stuff in the terminal. Also, it reintroduced me to WSL and the fact that I could connect VS Code to it. Highly recommended!

Me first timer. I did alot of things wrong but there is an AI chat bot to explain things to you, which was super useful. The course says 10hours but I spend 30+ hours going through the same chapters over and over. Great for first timers getting exposure to linux. I was able to navigate and understand linux cli based systems at work.

This is a pretty straight forward course to learn Linux. When I built my first computer, I couldn't afford Windows and instead used Linux. This course stilll helped to understand how to navigate Linux better.

Loved the course, teaches basic CLI usage very efficiently and you also get a hands-on experience on your own computer.
