You will install Linux on your systems
- Learn how to install Linux
- Edit configuration files
- Competencies:
- Linux
- Configuration files
- Sysadmin
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;
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 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑
