Testing for my Linux Essentials on Monday and this series has been very helpful. I have an Ubuntu and Kali VMWare downloaded that I've been practicing on side by side to your videos, I will share your series with my classmates on our discord thank you so much for this and I want to keep advancing my knowledge of Linux as I am also taking a CEH course. I think the command line paralysis describes it very accurately, like a Deer in the Headlights!
I do like that, when teaching syntax, you often repeat yourself multiple times throughout the video. In this video, almost every time you say, "dash r" you also mention that r stands for "recursively." Too many training videos mention what the syntax stands for once, when repetition is key in regard to rote memorization. Awesome work. Thank you for providing this to the community for free.
I love this series, even though I know some basics I learnt a whole lot of alternative ways of doing the same. Would love to see LPIC-1 series, greetings from Poland
I'm almost disappointed that you didn't mention the rm command of death, you know which one I'm talking about ! Anyway great course, I know some things on Linux but I'm learning a lot thanks to you !
Thanks! It would certainly be easier than when I was doing videos for CBT Nuggets. Redhat is *really* picky about using their name in commercial training. But I don't think saying their name in my little UA-cam channel would be an issue.
Love this video! Starting my journey into cloud computing and this series has so far given me great knowledge of linux. Liked, subbed, and all that jazz. Thank you!
Thank YOU! And welcome. We're just starting Linux+ too, so if you are enjoying Linux Essentials, I'd encourage you to follow along as I make the new course too. :)
Mr Powers, I know this video has been around for a while now, but I've been going through some college courses on LInux the CLI. While I've generally advanced past these basic commands, YOUR WAY OF EXPLAINING AND GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMMAND ARE SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you. At the end of your video, you said to throw out some ideas for a different video. Could you at some point create a video on the | (pipe) command? Maybe you already have and i just haven't gotten there yet, but one of the biggest issues I've found is not knowing which commands go together well when using it.
question: Regarding the recursive flag for the "rm" command, why is it lowercase 'r' but for the "ls" command it's a capital 'R'? Will those two commands work either way if you switch the casing on the R's?
I haven't dug around yet because I know I'll land in rabbitholes and I'm trying to focus through this playlist. I know you've done a Linux+ course at this point - do you lay that out in a way to most efficiently build on your playlist here? How much overlap is there? Thanks for everything, your energy and teaching style is unmatched.
It is a bit difficult to call what we would like to learn next at this point as we don't know, yet, what we don't know. Further along I would like to know how to configure things I don't care for, example: add a radius to the corners of a window that opens. Possibly how to have a different desktop, switch to or from Gnome, to some other desktop.
Hello Shawn I am watching your videos and enjoying so far learning the basics with Linux, could you answer a question? I am practicing with Mint in the terminal I am stuck trying to figure out how to mv or cp a file named filename from folder2 to folder1. Another words how do you move a file to another location?
You bet! Let’s say you’re in a directory called “base”, and if you do an ls, you see “folder1” and “folder2” - to accomplish your task, you’d type: mv folder2/filename folder1/ Same thing to cp, just replace the mv with cp. Hope that helps!
@@shawnp0wers Hi Shawn appreciate you getting back to me so quick;y, since I have a Folder2 with a file called filename I tried your steps mv folder2/filename folder1/ but I received a message No such file or directory. my folder1 is lower case
@@shawnp0wers Do you by chance already have a video about moving files to another location? I watched the video on rm and cp but didn't see any info on what I am trying to learn.
@@MrScorpio11470 Hmm... I don't have a video on that specifically. If you do "ls folder1" -- does it show the "filename" file inside? The file must exist in folder1 in order to move or copy it. Also, it would be case sensitive... I'm sorry I'm not more helpful.
@@shawnp0wers Hi Shawn so I figured out what I was doing wrong, I was trying to mv the filename while in the folder2. So I cd ~, then did an mv folder2/filename folder1/ and it worked. So my understanding is that when you want to mv a file to another location you need to be out of the folder? Is that correct?
oooh my Gooood you are an genius i really liked your way of teaching i tried many courses on udemy and coursera but really really you are the best would you like making paloalto or aws series?

this series is awesome.....looking forward to watching the linux+ after this

That's great to hear! (When I teach, I often find things I never knew too.)
Thanks Shawn!! for all the awesome knowlage and wisdom you're dropping on us. hope one day we can share to others the things that we learn from you 💪💪
I hope so too! And thank you!
@@shawnp0wers do you feel like this playlist alone is enough to pass the exam thanks for the great content!
I'm almost disappointed that you didn't mention the rm command of death, you know which one I'm talking about !
Anyway great course, I know some things on Linux but I'm learning a lot thanks to you !
Love how you deliver your content. I'd love a series on RHCSA after this.

After this I would like to go for the lpic 1
I love your way of teaching Shawn!

Hey I'd really like to see you either do a Network+ course or a RHCSA course 👍
Sean, when you create a file using touch, does it always create a text file?

Amazing tutorial👍🏻benefit a lot. thx!

after i get comfortable using linux and passing the linux essentials exam, i plan on learning python as a programming language
I’m most comfortable with PHP, but I’ve grown fond of Python, and used it for my most recent work-project. Good choice!
Please tell me that Shawn has something for LPIC-1 / 2 / 3, Shawn you are amazing thanks for your efforts
Not yet! But I used to make training for CBT Nuggets, so I've done those courses before. Hopefully I can do them here eventually too!
Thanks for the education
Planning to prepare Linux+ and then sit the exam
Nice! Let us know how it goes!
thank you for help me handle with linux.
Happy to help!
Thank you
If i pass the lpic essentials next week i want to learn lpic1 and then lpic2 :)
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! :)
I always thought pwd stood for print working directory.
I think it actually does, lol. :)
great content by the way
Thanks. :)
The way you pronounced mate sounds like you speak spanish
Sadly no, although I've been trying to learn. I did an interview once, I think, with one of the original developers, and they pronounced it that way.
teach AWS
Oddly enough, several of my friends were recently hired by Amazon to teach AWS. I'm personally not really familiar with it, but maybe someday? :)
oooh my Gooood
you are an genius i really liked your way of teaching i tried many courses on udemy and coursera but really really you are the best
would you like making paloalto or aws series?
Thank you so much! That makes my whole day. :)
(Also, I've never trained on PaloAlto or AWS, but maybe someday?)
Did you have courses on Udemy?
