Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

For someone that had no understanding of Linux, this was a tough course. But I learned a lot and feel more comfortable with it.

There is a ton of material that was enjoyable and there was some frustrations with the labs but for the most part. Good job. :)

Would be 5 stars but understand most of the linux stuff can be done under the gui. Also why Ubuntu and no kali or mint distros?

The only complaint I have is that some of the VMs for the labs were missing important content needed to complete certain tasks

Linux is an extremely challenging OS. I will need an additional exercises to become comfortable with said OS. That excites me.

excellent course - the labs are a little slow to spin up - wait for them to spin up before accessing especially Windows ones.

Very enjoyable! I wish week 1-5 labs had been more critical thinking like week 6 lab. Still, best course of the series yet.

Very informative course. I enjoy the course work more than I enjoy my job. I am getting exposure that I cannot get at work.

It is a simple but comprehensive course for beginners, this course will give the conceptual idea for the operating systems.

It has been most challenging course in series. Plan on seeking sources outside the course if you haven't learned Linux yet.

Labs were an issue in this one. Ironically genuine troubleshooting was required but resolution required escalation support.

I would have given it a 5/5 if all of the labs were working correctly on my first try. Overall, great information and labs.

the pace was a little too fast to properly memorize or familiarize yourself with the commands in Ubuntu.

I liked it though!

The material was informative, but I wish the course was more interactive than just 1 virtual lab at the end of each week.

Quite a great expose on the begginer level experience of using windows powershell and the linux bash shell environment.

High information load but totally necessary. Learned so much about many facets of OS which we take for granted everyday.
