Do you like using computers on a daily basis? Well this article could inform you on the most important tool of the internet! Hi my name is Mike and I enjoy using the Unix like operating system known as Linux. Linux has played a major role in my computer/developing skills for over 2-3 years now. It helps me perform many day to day tasks that other things couldn't, Linux is the swiss army knife of operating systems.

Why does someone like me use GNU Linux? I use Linux because I am a Developer/Cyber-security enthusiast who thrives for only the most secure, fast, and all around best tools available. Like the previous article stated, it is the swiss army knife of operating systems, so it provides me and companies with a safe piece of mind that our systems are secure and   b bb nbrunning with no problem. Its so light and useful that your car and fridge might even be running it right now!

I will be demonstrating how to use Linux within a virtual environment. Everything from how to install it on your own personal computer, to performing basic tasks within your fresh new operating system. And lastly i will be informing everyone why Linux is so important to the world. OBS-Studio will be used to record the tutorial videos needed for the demonstration.

You may ask, are you qualified enough to teach something as versatile as Linux? I'd say i'm not a PROFESSIONAL but I have a handful of years in my pocket of experience using the kernel, so I can teach basics and other simple things for beginners to help them on their journey.]]> 2021-09-21 19:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mhmcgill/qybsjp71zyqoxlvu/wish/1758235937 mhmcgill https://padlet.com/mhmcgill/qybsjp71zyqoxlvu/wish/1763941120 Installing Linux nowadays is a piece of cake because companies have made it more accessible, and user friendly. All you need to do is simply visit the website for your chosen flavor/distribution of Linux, download the supported .iso file and flash it to a usb. For this lesson I will be using Fedora Workstation.

Fedora Workstation Download:

Don't know how to flash an iso to a usb? here's how:

After you flash the iso to the usb stick, restart your computer and boot into the flashdrive from your bios/boot menu. After this you can follow along with me on the videos!

To follow along simply go on your linux desktop and open the terminal. Lastly i will be teaching the file system and structure in Linux. Which is arguably the most important part. A google doc will be provided below with necessary information to do as such.

Why Linux is so important for society. I will be linking multiple sources as to why you as a person may need to use it. As well as companies because its mainly used in commercial environments.
