4 Ways To Teach Yourself and Improve Your Linux Skill
Why and how to learn this operating system
Linux, or Unix systems, are an essential tool to all technology. It is the original cross-platform operating system which made software cross-compatible with hardware. Its cross-platform capability inspired the idea of a universal operating system for personal computers, like Windows.
Many of the properties and design of Unix and Unix-like systems became required parts of future systems. Today, the go-to operating system for any kind of remote host is its child OS (Operating System), Linux.
Cloud systems, distributed computing & virtual machines all require a low resource, highly versatile operating system which accepts multiple users and is highly compatible with most development software. If you were to ask which fits this bill better, Windows or Linux, most developers would say Linux.
Start with Command-Line-Interface
To get better at this operating system I recommend always prioritizing learning terminal commands. If you work on Mac or Windows and have never used a pure terminal based Unix-like operating system, many misconceptions about personal computing will have to change.
