Posted on my community page. For some reason I couldn't tag you, which was weird. Anyway, congrats. :) (If you'd rather not have me push your comment, just let me know, I'll delete it)
@@shawnp0wers no am happy for you to push it. am glad i found your channel after watching you on network chuck, a few questions i wasnt sure on i got right as i watched the whole series on your channel. well worth it. next is lpic 1 - giving myself 3 months to prep for that exam.
I have been doing Windows support for decades, started with CPM, went to DOS, and was a Domain Admin, at a previous location, and the more I learn about Windows, the more I want something else once I retire, I'm currently 69 years old, but not quite ready yet.
I end up using Linux in virtual machines or i vnc to a machine else wear because i need proprietary programs for mac and windows (windows is a VM also) for work.
Same. I have a beefy Windows machine that I use for recording and hosting VMs. And an older Mac on my desk for the few Mac-specific things I need on a daily basis. (Messages, for example) I love Linux, but I'm not a zealot. :)
No, ESXi (VMware ESXi) does not run Linux on the hardware and then build on top of it. ESXi is a bare-metal hypervisor, which means it runs directly on the hardware without the need for a separate operating system like Linux. When you install ESXi on a physical server, it becomes the primary operating system and directly interacts with the hardware. It provides a virtualization layer that allows you to create and manage multiple virtual machines (VMs) on the same physical server.
While I absolutely refuse to argue the merits of what literally went to court several times - if not Linux, ESXi is an extremely Linux-like OS. You can literally install Linux drivers into the ESXi kernel, and I’ve done so personally to get specific unsupported hardware working. Proxmox is considered a bare-metal hypervisor too. And it’s running Debian under the hood.
@@shawnp0wers Oh I see. It's just I was like "what, I didn't know that". Then I started googling this stuff - didn't find anything. Then I asked ChatGPT if it's true and it's like nope. Then I said "but there is someone knowledgeable who says it's true" and then it's like "nope". So I just copied the text from the ChatGPT hoping somebody would clarify it. So thanks😅.
Perfect! Sorry if I sounded harsh - the ESXi/Linux thing was (and occasionally still is) an ugly argument. I was hoping you weren’t litigating whether their kernel was Linux or not. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter much to me, but the argument doesn’t add much value to conversation. Thanks for being awesome. :) ::nerdy high five::
Once you have the knowledge, you can go set up your own Linux server and practice all you want. For me, I love these videos: Just tell me what I need to know. If I want to practice, I can do that, too. ❤
The start of how to use a browser at 3:30ish got me so good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
about to do my lpi essentials in a weeks time. hope to see more videos from you like this. thanks for making your content!
Awesome! Good luck! And I'm not planning to stop, so stay tuned for more training/teaching/etc. :)
@@shawnp0wers just thought i would let you know that i took the exam today and passed! not great 630 out of 800 but still a pass.
That's AWESOME! Nice job!!!

help i dont know how to use a web browser!
what's a web browser? I hardly knew her?
Well I would like to not switch off Windows but my college is making me learn Linux for IT Infrastructure... so... I kind of have to.
Watching this thinking, after this latest news of Windows taking constant snapshots of your screen, maaaaaybe this could be the year 😂
Is the linux foundation also a good source to get certified?
Sorry for the late reply -- yes. I had bad luck with their testing software several years back, but they're a very reputable organization.
HELP, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THIS WEB BROWWSER
Hahahahha I really laughed my a$$, off 1:48
hehehehe, the danger with my videos is that you might sprain your eyeballs rolling at my silliness from time to time. ;)
LINUX THIS IS GREAT! Still personally have to stick with mac osx for personal use!
2024 is the year of Linux, especially with the release of the Raspbery Pi 5.

That’s important too! 🤣

@@BrianWeeks-kv7hlI just wanted to let you know that after a year, some nerds are still laughing at this
so this series of video is only talking? no practice?
