Hi everybody, I’ve been using linux for over 15 years with a huge gap in between. I think i stopped at 14 (Ubuntu) something and started again at 20 something. So i had to learn alot again. Luckily it all came back quick. Now since this week I started linux from scratch to learn more about the way it’s build. I’m also going to get some education to point myself in the direction of a linux job. I just love the way it works. It makes sense to if you now what I mean (which you probably do)

I have two questions. Are there things I should try with LFS after completing my build? And what are some good linux educational sites? I’m currently thinking of the linux foundation. Anyway thanks for reading. Greeting from Belgium! Mr. Nowhereman

    Knowing this stuff is fine but make sure to keep your goals in mind. If the idea is to get a job, figuring out how Bluetooth works isn’t going to get you anywhere. You need to move in the direction the wider industry is moving. That direction is running containers in kubernetes.

    If you can stand up a kube cluster, write a Prometheus exporter in go, scale pods based on those metrics, and auto resize workloads’ resource requests, then you should be able to find a job without much trouble… These are the things ops people are expected to do in 2023.

    EDIT: The CNCF is a great resource for modern tooling.

    BeyondLFS. I did both and ran it as my daily on a K6-3 for a couple years.

      Enlighten me on running LFS in kubernetes. What are you doing and why? I’ve never heard of this.

        LFS in kubernetes

        I’m not sure how to answer that… can Kubernetes be for whole bare metal operating systems?

    Some things to check on ur lfs:

    • bluetooth audio
    • screenshare (with media audio)
    • mic quality (sometimes there’s a lot of static sound if not tuned properly)
    • try running a game
    • try running other resource intensive software like training an ml model or running 3d cad software
    • try writing to files that you’re not supposed to be able to (without using sudo), to test that you gave the proper read/write/execute access to system files.

    The Linux Foundation hosts brilliant curses on OS virtualization in Linux - after that there is a pretty clear path at a cloud administrator career.
