I tend to buy classes when on sale cheap (5-10 bucks) from Udemy, lately ansible, docker, k8s, and the material is usually really good. I've not looked to see what sort of "beginner to linux" courses they have, but I'm almost certain they have some, and I tend to trust their content.
As said, there's always the tubes with plenty of user generated content, at times better than what you get in higher education.
Talking with someone recently trying to complete their masters degree from a local community college needing some missing math classes, she found the school edu material was mostly garbage, the video "classes" were terrible, and mostly had to end up teaching herself how to do it off youtube. She found not only her teacher selling and giving away better classes on youtube and others, often far better than her school provided for the class (calculus). I can only imagine how this is for anything directly CS-related, values of any degrees seem about worthless these days, moreso now post-covid when you can't even talk to a human.

Hi All,
After about a 10 year hiatus away from Linux I'm getting back into
it for daily use. I've been playing around with Ubuntu (and
Zorrin). When I was using Linux all those years ago it was mainly
as command line against a remote server (no desktop). But, now I
want to learn more about using Linux from a desktop user
perspective for daily use. I'm looking for how to do stuff as a
Linux user not so much administering the machine (although I
understand there's some cross over). My main goal is to learn how
to do tasks on the Linux desktop that I currently do on Windows as
a user and a developer (I'm a SQL Server DBA).
Googling for "How to do X in Linux" returns so many hits it's
overwhelming (and time consuming). So, I thought I'd ask the group
to get the good stuff directly. :)
What
recommendations can the group provide as far as learning
resources? Websites, newsletters, blogs, daily usage tips, etc?
Where do you guys go for this type of information?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
