What everyone means when they say "Learn Linux"

Completed by 3 learners
Ages 14-18
Self-Paced Class
One of the most commonly cited steps for students in computer science is to "Learn Linux." This ambiguous phrase often confuses learners. This actually means "Learn the BASH Shell used in the Linux OS," and this course covers exactly that.
