What will you learn?
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.

I would like more context as to why Linux is an important OS to learn. But also more practice scenarios where we can use the shell to perform common use cases.

The Learn Linux course was very good. It covered the basics needed to operate on the command line and more. It was well-suited for someone new to Linux.

For all the basics I thought I knew, this course comprehensively filled in very large gaps in my education. It is direct, easy and well structured.

i have understood some of the most common syntax used in linux automation, especially the redirects and some of the better version of the standard linux commands

If you've never seen a terminal in your life, this course is complete to understand everything you need and use it as your primary tool. And if you already worked with it, it is also good to revisit and clarify some concepts you already know. I still call things wrongly, knowing what a GUI is and talking properly is important to communicate and understand what I am doing.
