Hi
Over the past few years I have dipped into Linux distos on occasions and enjoyed the experience, but always gone back to Mac and before that Microsoft.
I am 33 and looking for something new to learn, and the Linux command line has always been something that has intrigued me. I am a competent computer and understand more than the average person, I am completely comfortable with many operations that other may not be.
The Linux command line is an area that I have never really taken the time to learn. I look around me and see all the younger generation making apps and coding and just think have I come to the Linux party too late? Am I destined to be a GUI computer user for the rest of my life!
The other issue is where do I start? There are no courses near me at the local college, so I have enrolled in a EdX course to get me started. I thought that would be most appropriate for now, and I figured self teaching would be the best way to go, but I could be wrong.
Fundamentally after a lot of thinking I would like to try this all out and attempt to start a new career path, is this an area that needs lots of new bods....Obviously I want to take this one step at a time.
Any advice would be greatly received.
Thanks
