   • A satisfied student expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn about Red Hat and expressed high motivation to enhance their knowledge, emphasizing the importance of patient teaching.

   • One learner was satisfied with the delivery, despite the sound quality issues, and found the content very satisfying.

   • A user who had taken over 50 courses on Udemy found this course "by far the worst," citing poor preparation by the instructor, confusion, lack of clarity, and a significant amount of time wasted due to the instructor's unnecessary actions like choosing silly file names or reverting to older versions after updates.

   • A user who appreciated the instructor's teaching style compared it to sitting next to someone at work explaining things, and felt that while the course sticks closely to the material, it might not be enough to pass the exam.

   • Another learner recommended this course for beginners, praising the trainer's ability to explain concepts and provide practical demonstrations, and gave a strong recommendation for those new to Linux.

   • A user appreciated the instructor's extensive knowledge and the straight-forward manner in which concepts were explained, finding his courses on YouTube before purchasing this one.

   • A learner found the course great for bringing up one's knowledge of Linux and becoming a "power-user," but suggested supplementing this with other resources for RHCSA certification preparation.

2. Constructive Criticism:

   • Several users criticized the instructor's accent, suggesting that it might be a barrier for some learners.

   • The course was described as excessively long and unfocused, filled with non-essential content and repetitive actions that don't add value to the learning experience. There were recommendations to condense the topics into brief segments: what the topic/tools is about (1 minute), commands (1 minute)), command parameters (1 minute)), and a case study or most known issues/troubleshooting (1 minute).

   • The presenter was criticized for talking too much, especially about trivialities, with suggestions to prepare better before shooting the course.

   • Some technical aspects were missed or not well-covered, such as system performance monitoring, SSH tunneling, X forwarding, Xserver+Xwindows+DEs setup, ACLs, Sticky bit, setuid, getuid, RBACs, Sudo (-iu)), and su at all.

   • There were comments on the lack of basic Linux admin knowledge covered by the course.

   • The learner pointed out that the course content only constitutes around 5% of what a junior Linux admin might know, which is not sufficient even for basic daily work, let alone the RHCSA certification.

3. Specific Feedback and Suggestions:

   • There was a suggestion to provide examples that successfully complete without failing.
   • There was a recommendation to include more RHEL specific information that the learner was seeking.
   • There were suggestions for the course content, including more advanced topics like system performance monitoring, X forwarding, VPN setup, ACLs, sticky bit, setuid, getuid, RBACs, Sudo (-iu) + sudo config, and more modern alternatives like sftp instead of FTP in 2021.

4. General Suggestions:

   • The user suggested a more structured approach to teaching Linux basics and administration tasks.
   • There were recommendations for the instructor to prepare adequately before recording course content, ensuring clarity, and providing more advanced information relevant to RHEL and beyond.

5. RHCSA Certification Context:

   • A learner pointed out that while this course might cover a small percentage of what is required for the RHCSA certification, it certainly does not cover the 500$ worth of knowledge required for the more expensive and rigorous RHCSA certification. Based on these feedback points, it seems that while there are some positive aspects to the course, there are significant concerns regarding the course's preparation and focus, as well as its relevance to intermediate and advanced learners, especially in the context of RHEL and RHCSA certifications. It appears that the course may be better suited for absolute beginners rather than those seeking more detailed and advanced knowledge and RHEL-specific information.
