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.
