[Course Introduction] The AI Era - Getting Started with Linux the Right Way

● I’m taking a Linux class at school, but I just can’t understand it.

● At an educational institution, the service was in the final stage of completion, but I got stuck at deployment.

● I was scared when I joined the company and was told that I absolutely had to know Linux.

● I became curious after hearing that most services in the AI era run on Linux.

● I’m interested in system programming, firmware, and hardware, but Linux has held me back.

● I want to delve deeply into Linux so I can work with it professionally, but I don't know how to get started with the basics.


▶ We’ll guide you on how to properly begin learning Linux for people like this.

◆ This course is not suitable for those who!

This course is for beginners.

If you can handle files and know how to use the Vi editor, we recommend an appropriate course suited to your level.

Topics requiring root privileges have been separated into a Linux administration course, so please keep that in mind.

Do you have any questions?

Q. Why is the course access period six months?


"A course with a high completion rate"

This is to achieve this goal.

So I divided the subject into manageable sections for you to take the course.

For a complete beginner, the material is enough to finish the exercises in about two weeks by studying one hour a day.

The lecture materials are provided as PDFs and text, so if you download them while taking the course,

You can use it indefinitely.


You don't have to worry because lifetime support is available through the two channels below.

The course access period is six months, but support will continue for as long as I am alive.

▶ If you have chosen and decided carefully, please be sure to complete the course.

Q. Why have you divided the subjects into several courses?


  • This is to increase the course completion rate.

  • This is to reduce unnecessary waste of time.

  • Since your time and money are valuable, please choose and take only the courses you truly need.

Q. Does the Linux distribution and version matter?


The courses are not tied to any specific distribution or version.

Ubuntu 24.04 on WSL2 and

We cover both VirtualBox / Ubuntu 24.04 and Rocky 9 versions.


You can use the same version used by your school, training center, or company.

Notes Before Taking the Course

▶ Practice Environment

  • Operating system and version (OS): Windows 10/11—either is fine.

  • On macOS, you can use the built-in Terminal. zsh is the default, but you can run bash.

▶ Learning Materials

  • PDF materials that can be viewed by printing them out and the code used are provided as text files.

▶ Prerequisites and Notes

  • None. Since Linux was created in C, knowing C is helpful.

      Instructor

      Hanny, you’ve completed 100% of the course. Congratulations. This was the most basic Linux course. I hope it was helpful, even in a small way. The topics needed for practical work— including root, network, and Shell Script— will be covered in five upcoming courses. I hope you continue to grow steadily after joining the company. Thank you for being the first to provide feedback on the course.
