Today’s Progress – Odin Project Foundation Course

Started learning The Odin Project's foundation course — everything was going smoothly until I reached the installation chapter. That part alone took me the whole day 🤦‍♀️

In total, from starting the course to finally getting through the installation chapter, it took me 8 hours. 😩

I had so many questions and got super confused during the installation process. I kept googling things, checking images, and asking ChatGPT — and slowly it started to make more sense. (Not gonna lie, Google Images helped more than anything else 😂).

Initially, I tried installing **Ubuntu **through PowerShell, but it didn’t go well. Then I tried installing it from the Microsoft Store, but that version wasn’t working either. Strangely, the "incomplete" installation from PowerShell started working out of nowhere. Not sure what really happened, but it seems to be working fine now. 👍

I haven’t moved on from the chapter yet — just making sure Ubuntu is installed correctly and running well. I asked ChatGPT how to check that, and so far, all the tests are coming back fine.

I’ve always wanted to try Linux, but I had this fear that my old and slow PC might crash or something. Now, I feel like I’m slowly convincing myself to properly learn and use Linux. ✌
