Learn Linux the hacker way.

Never opened a terminal? Perfect. Learn to ssh, ls, cd and more. Every lesson shows how it's done on both big Linux families, Rocky/RHEL and Ubuntu/Debian. After that, you'll learn how to use AI on Linux.

One Linux, two big families

Most commands are identical everywhere. The differences are small, but they trip up almost every beginner. We show both, side by side.

Rocky / RHEL family

Used by big companies, banks, schools and governments. Software comes in .rpm packages that you install with dnf.

Ubuntu / Debian family

Popular in the cloud, with hobbyists, and on Raspberry Pi. Software comes in .deb packages that you install with apt.

A pretend terminal

Every lesson has a practice terminal right in the page, with missions to complete. You can't break anything, so go ahead and experiment.

Linux + AI, then real admin work

Use AI as a study buddy without believing everything it says, and run your own AI model. Then learn the sysadmin toolkit: permissions, users, logs, cron, processes and backups.

What “hacking” means here

To a hacker, “hacking” means taking things apart to see how they work, tinkering, and building cool stuff. That's the kind we teach. Rule #1: only ever touch computers you own or have permission to use. Breaking into other people's systems is illegal, and it's not what real hackers are proud of.
