🐧 Linux Learning Journey – Day 1: Getting Comfortable with Ubuntu

Hello everyone 👋

Yesterday, I shared that I’m starting a 4-week Linux (Ubuntu) learning journey. Today, I want to share my Day 1 progress and first impressions while working with Ubuntu.

🛠️ My Setup

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• Environment: VirtualBox
• Focus: Understanding the basics before jumping into advanced topics

Setting up Ubuntu in a virtual machine was a great way to explore Linux without affecting my main system.

📚 What I Learned on Day 1

Here’s what I focused on today:

🔹 Understanding Linux Basics

Linux is an open-source operating system built around the Linux kernel

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution designed to be user-friendly

Linux is widely used in servers and cloud environments

🔹 Terminal & Basic Commands

I started using the terminal and practiced these commands:

• pwd – check current directory
• ls – list files and folders
• cd – navigate directories
• mkdir / rmdir – create and remove directories
• cp, mv, rm – file operations Using the terminal felt challenging at first, but also powerful.

🧠 Key Takeaways

• The command line is central to working with Linux
• Understanding the file system structure is important
• Making small mistakes and fixing them helps learning faster

🎯 What’s Next?

Next, I’ll be learning:

• File permissions (chmod, chown)
• More practical command-line usage
• How Linux is used in real server environments

I’ll continue sharing my progress regularly.
