We will be starting from the initial install and using a setup of VirtualBox and Vagrant, and you will leave having the fundamentals to continue on your learning journey.

Why learn Linux?

Over 90% of the public cloud workload operates on Linux. If you're going to be working in anything cloud related, you will be touching Linux.
Even in our everyday lives, Linux comes into play. In fact, those google searches? They are made possible with Linux behind the scenes.

Why vagrant?

This tool uses a base image to quickly clone a virtual machine, and saves time and resources in the process. It allows for a repeatable process, should you want to get more virtual machine environments after the course.

In the course, I am using MacOS, if you’re using Windows please use Git for Windows as this provides a Bash emulation.
This will align things as closely as possible to using Unix/Linux and will ensure you have an SSH Client.

Es war ok. Sound war unterschiedlich laut. Manchmal hat man nicht gescheit lesen können. Sonst war es in Ordnung.

Its just enough to get you started in the terminal. It give you a basic idea on how to maneuver in the terminal.

The procedure for installing and setting up the vagrant was explained in a very disappointing manner. Doesn't look like this course is meant for a beginner.

Interesting, I have to look at Vagrant. Although it seems like you were doing more work. With virtualbox, all you have to do is get an .ova file, however sometimes those are difficult to locate.

Very confusing for someone using Windows and unfamiliar with Git. Also, video segments are cut off at confusing points and seem to have important information missing.

First of all, for a ~1h course, I cannot really complain. It offers what it says it does, no more, no less. I do feel like the structure and choice of topics could have been better as an "Introduction" to Linux, as it does require some knowledge beforehand that potential viewers won't have. For example the stuff with VBox/Vagrant; most people who start to be interested in operating systems probably don't know the concept of VMs (at least in my experiences), and those who do, don't need help on the basics). I also feel like the way it was set up (just with Vagrant, not how graphically and then running in the gnome-terminal/Konsole/whatever) might be too much for a new-to-Linux-person, as it isn't explained that Ubuntu has a GUI normally, etc. So, TL;DR: Course was good, but could use some improvements to be an "Introduction" to Linux
