## the route
STEP 01
Getting Started
What even IS Linux? Distros, VMs, and taking the plunge.
▸
// learning objectives
›Understand what a Linux distribution is (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc.)
›Spin up a VM or dual-boot — no penguins were harmed
›Log in and stare bravely at the desktop
// try it in your terminal
$ cat /etc/os-release # who am I, really?

DID YOU KNOW
Linux powers ~96% of the world's top web servers. Your future overlord runs Linux.
STEP 02
The Terminal
Where the magic (and the fear) begins. Move around like you own the place.
🔒▸
STEP 03
Files & Permissions
rwx, chmod, chown, and the sacred art of sudo.
🔒▸
STEP 04
Package Management
Install software without googling 'download exe' like it's 2003.
🔒▸
STEP 05
Processes & Monitoring
See what's eating your CPU (spoiler: it's a browser tab).
🔒▸
STEP 06
Networking
Ping, ssh, curl — talk to computers far, far away.
🔒▸
STEP 07
Shell Scripting
Automate the boring stuff. Loops, variables, and #!/bin/bash.
🔒▸
STEP 08
Going Root
Services, systemctl, cron — become genuinely dangerous (responsibly).
