GNU/Linux

You will install Linux on your systems

Goals

  • Learn how to install Linux
  • Edit configuration files
  • Competencies:
    • Linux
    • Configuration files
    • Sysadmin

Step 1

Document yourself about Linux. See what it is, how it works.

In particular, read about:

  • what's a "distribution" ("distro")
  • what's a "window manager", a "desktop environment"
  • what's GNU

But also everything else you can find.

Then;

Step 2

Install Linux

For any installation to be considered valid, after the main system, you need the following software:

  • A Graphical User Interface (like Gnome or KDE)
  • Git
  • SSH
  • Node.JS And NPM
  • Vim / or NeoVIM
  • Visual Studio Code (Visual Studio Code)
  • One mainstream browser (Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, ...)

Depending on your distro, a certain amount of that software might come for free. For example, in any of the "mainstream" distributions, you get a GUI by default.

For each installation of a significantly different flavor of Linux, you will accrue points

  • A mainstream distribution with a graphical installed (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, ...) is 🔑🔑
  • Another mainstream distribution is 🔑
  • A raw distribution (Arch, Gentoo, LFS, ...) is 🔑🔑🔑
  • Another raw distribution is 🔑🔑

Additionally:

  • installing at least one mainstream and one raw is 🔑🔑🔑 bonus
  • any one PC without a working system (with a graphical interface) is MINUS 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑
