What skills specifically are you wanting to boost?
General knowledge on linux, system administration/maintenance, networks and security. Some degree of hardware maintenance would be nice as well.
It's supposed to be a hobby but having some knowledge to ground myself would be nice.
Lawrence Systems and Learn Linux TV YouTube channels are really good and filled with useful tutorials for Linux and FOSS software.
Awesome Open Source is a great channel too.
Thank you!
I can’t offer any resources other than what’s already well known, but I can say that there is no better way to learn than just starting projects.
If it’s something you want to build then you’re more motivated to learn because it’s something you enjoy.
I am a software developer now, but it took me way longer than it should because I just kept consuming knowledge but nothing really connected until I started actually building things.
So you could set up Linux servers headless, Practice admin tasks until comfortable. Using cloud for building networks and implementing security is great fun.
