One of the best courses available online! A special thanks to Brian for diving deep into the fundamentals and presenting the concepts in a clear, structured, and easy-to-understand way.

This "Complete Intro to Linux" course is my new favorite!! I've been using Linux as my main OS for 3 years and I'm just now understanding it. Thank you Frontend Masters and thank you Mr. Brian Holt for this amazing work. I've taken "Complete Intro to Web Dev" and "Complete Intro to Computer Science" with Brian and he is my favorite teacher of all time!
