Believe it or not, Linuxis the most widely used Operating System in the world.

It is deeply integrated in our daily lives, and yet most of us have never even realizedhow many devices run on Linux. From supercomputers and Smart devices to Air traffic control systems and Japan's Bullet Train, Linux is at the core of our day-to-day lives.

It makes sense therefore, to learn more about this "mysterious" and powerful Operating System. Though Linux isn't the common choice for Desktop and Laptop computers, there is no reason why it shouldn't be.

Linux has many advantages over Windows and Mac!

Linux isn't plagued by malware and viruses in the same way as Windows. Less than 5% of computers (desktops & laptops) run on Linux. This makes Linux a much less targeted platform because it just isn't as profitable. Low-level user privileges, software repositories and the open source nature of Linux addextra levels of security to the Operating System. Linux also respects your privacy unlike Windows! These reasons make Linux an excellent choice for Online Banking and Shopping as well as accessing private information such as emails and chats.

Linux is more stable and does not usually slow down over time. Most distributions are capable of running on very low hardware resources making Linux a light weight alternative to Windows and Mac. Portability is another key factor. Linux distributions, on average, come in less than 2GB ISO files (some distros are much smaller than 2GB).

The Command Line (Terminal)interface and BASH scripting are among the most powerful features in Linux. If you are fond of customization, Linux provides ample room to play around. It was created to be customizable based on users' needs.


This course is a good introduction to Linux. It also provides you the opportunity to try out Linux for yourself and gives you sufficient knowledge to get started.


If you ever wanted to learn about Linux, this course is for you!
