Description

Welcome to Hands-On Introduction to Linux with Ubuntu. I'm Lucas, a tech lead working in an international team, and I’ve created this course to make Linux simple and approachable — especially if you're just starting out in tech or exploring DevOps, backend development, or cloud computing.

In this course, we’ll go hands-on with Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions. We’ll start by setting it up together and walking through the system step by step — no prior experience required.

You’ll learn:

  • How to navigate the file system using the terminal

  • How to create, move, and delete files and folders

  • How permissions and users work in Linux

  • How to monitor your system and manage running processes

  • How to find files and search through text with powerful tools like grep, find, and xargs

  • How to automate tasks with cron

  • How to write your first bash script

  • How to use essential tools like curl, tar, ssh, and more

By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand how Linux works — you’ll be comfortable using it for everyday tasks, development, or server management.

If you're curious about Linux, thinking about a tech career, or just want to expand your skills — you're in the right place.

Let’s make Linux practical, empowering, and fun!
