Do you want to land a job in cybersecurity, but everyone requires "Linux proficiency"? You don’t need 1,000 Linux commands. You need the 5 that actually show up in real security work. Let me show you!
I thought about it, and from my experience, “man” doesn’t help much for complete beginners, since they don’t know how to read it, and it's easier just to Google it.
I just googled "manual cp" and the first hit was the man page. 🫣 Except that in the terminal you don't need to have a working networking to read it. So I stand by it. Teach how to access the built-in manual first, and you won't need to teach much else.

Yes, I have. Right now, my life is complicated. But I am seriously considering Linux. The whole IT world is so upside down with the way they've betrayed our trust. As a result, the idea of being completely away from the Microsoft group is very enticing. Already you have changed all my preconceptions about the IT world that you make it seem so logical.
I get that. I would suggest trying it first before switching to Linux completely. I am finishing a Docker tutorial that allows you to “play” with the Terminal first. I can let you know once it’s finished.
Thank you. Yes, please! I am sure I am driving my daughter demented because I have reversed action from changing back to quill and ink and now going full steam ahead with cloud and all the other changes you suggested.

We need to pursue knowledge! I look forward to any information you can provide. Thank you!
I can only agree with that! Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it!
Thank you for this excellent post on Linux. You certainly take all the stress away from what we're doing with our IT.
Thank you! I really appreciate it! Have you considered trying Linux?

Thank you for saying that. I truly appreciate it.
I will let you know once it’s ready!
