If you want to learn how to use Linux, but don't know where to start read on. Knowing where to start when learning a new skill can be a challenge, especially when the topic seems so vast. There can be so much information available that you can't even decide where to start. Or worse, you start down the path of learning and quickly discover too many concepts, commands, and nuances that aren't explained. This kind of experience is frustrating and leaves you with more questions than answers. Linux for Beginners doesn't make any assumptions about your background or knowledge of Linux. You need no prior knowledge to benefit from this course. You will be guided step by step using a logical and systematic approach. As new concepts, commands, or jargon are encountered they are explained in plain language, making it easy for anyone to understand.

A great, practical introduction to Linux. It includes installation of Linux and use of the command line.

The information is solid, but so bland it is hard to get through. I would change every section where you show something to a section where you make the student do it. Maybe show a screenshot of what the student should reproduce on his screen, then after a pause explain what commands are used to get there.

Good match though I did not need to learn how to install/uninstall programs I will never have admin rights here at my job, IT DEPT has complete control over that, end of Section 1 and Section 2/3 are most important for me. After those section I will probably show 4.5 stars.

So far, I'm enjoying the background detail and creation of Linux. The description of and breakdown of various "distros" is helpful for users so as to not feel overwhelmed with which distro is right for them. Well thought out course material thus far.

Good detail in the course. Maybe for some, too much detail, but it is good as the information is there for those who want/need it.

I am enjoying this course. but something I did not like was that you already made files and folders in vm machine so when you ran commands it was not understandable. Please make all files and folders with us one by one so we can see and learn. otherwise, we will not be able to practice all commands. Overall the course is very good and interesting.

So far, so good. I'm a complete newbie to this and so far, he's explaining things very nicely. My goal is to get away from Microsoft, that's why I want to learn about Linux.

Jason, you are a good teacher and the course is well structured. Thank you, it has been very informational. Only one feedback - you have discussed "users and groups" quite a few times in the context of the lessons at hand. However, the course does not teach how to create and maintain "users and groups".

Horrible! The instructor just wants to show off his knowledge. No effort is given for building intuition. The worst beginner course I ever had .

Peter

Yes it is a good match. I have some experience in Linux from both personal projects and from previous work experience, and supplementing what I learned on my own with this course is helpful.
