Description
Learn Fedora Workstation and Server — Linux Fundamentals is a comprehensive, beginner-friendly course covering both the desktop and server editions of Fedora Linux, from installation through to system administration, service configuration, and security hardening.
Fedora occupies a unique position in the Linux ecosystem as the cutting-edge distribution backed by Red Hat, where technologies are developed and refined before making their way into enterprise platforms like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux. The skills and concepts covered in this course are highly relevant across the entire Red Hat family of distributions.
Hands-on exercises are completed inside a virtualised lab environment, covering installation of both Fedora Workstation and Server editions. The course then progresses through the GNOME desktop environment, essential Linux commands and the command line interface, user and group management, file permissions, disk management, and package management using the DNF package manager.
Server-focused topics include firewall configuration with firewalld, service setup and management, log analysis using journalctl, and resource monitoring. The Workstation side of the course also covers productivity tools including LibreOffice and an introduction to gaming on Linux through Steam and Proton.
The course is designed for complete beginners, Windows users exploring Linux, IT professionals and sysadmins looking to expand into the Red Hat ecosystem, developers wanting a powerful Linux workstation, and certification candidates preparing for RHCSA, CompTIA Linux+, or LPIC-1.
Please note that this course is intended for educational purposes only.
Upon completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion suitable for adding to a résumé or LinkedIn profile.
