From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi everybody, I've been using linux for over 15 years with a huge gap in between. I think i stopped at 14 (Ubuntu) something and started again at 20 something. So i had to learn alot again. Luckily it all came back quick. Now since this week I started linux from scratch to learn more about the way it's build. I'm also going to get some education to point myself in the direction of a linux job. I just love the way it works. It makes sense to if you now what I mean (which you probably do)

I have two questions. Are there things I should try with LFS after completing my build? And what are some good linux educational sites? I'm currently thinking of the linux foundation. Anyway thanks for reading. Greeting from Belgium! Mr. Nowhereman

Valid point. Kubernetes didn't really grab my attention (yet) Maybe it should.

Kube solves a ton of really complicated problems. I think a big part of the learning curve is just understanding what those problems are/were to know why we are all doing this in the first place.

Rolling out something like Talos is a good starting point for a sandbox to play around in. When I feel like you understand the basic ideas of things that can be run in kube (deployments, cronjobs, services, ingresses, etc) this is a really great resource to level up your understanding:
