What’s the best way to start learning Linux? Why should you learn Linux in the first place? Get answers to these and other frequently asked questions below.

Put simply, Linux is an operating system — sort of like Mac OS and Windows. You might be surprised to find out it’s one of the most-used operating systems out there, thanks in part to it being open source, easily available, and contributed to by a large community of hobbyists and professionals alike.

You might hear us talk about “the little kernel that could” when referring to Linux. The base kernel for the OS is what the Linux community contributes to, allowing it to be debugged and useful for applications on everything from smartphones to high-end supercomputers.

Being open source and free to access aren’t the only reasons people recommend Linux. Linux is pretty ubiquitous when it comes to cloud learning and cloud applications. When you hear about the Internet of Things (IoT) or optimizing the software that servers use, that usually involves the use of Linux. Becoming familiar — if not certified — in the basics and beyond with Linux can help your career or your company’s cloud capabilities immensely.

Linux practically powers the cloud, so there are many practical applications for it — and thus an avalanche of info to wade through alone. That’s why A Cloud Guru offers a variety of hands-on training options for Linux as part of its learning library as well as tailored Learning Paths and practice exams for certifications. The LPI Linux Essentials Certification is one place to start, as well as learning about database administration and SQL basics.

Anyone can try A Cloud Guru for free as part of a seven-day trial.
