Learn Linux TV (YouTube channel)

What the channel covers

Learn Linux TV focuses on using Linux for real work: administering servers, automating tasks and running infrastructure. The channel says its host has more than twenty years of Linux and system administration experience, and the teaching reflects that: practical, careful, and with an eye on how things are done in production. There are tutorials, full courses, distribution reviews and deep dives.

Playlists to start with

• Linux How-To's and Linux Tips: short, practical lessons on everyday tasks.
• Bash Scripting on Linux: a structured series that takes you from your first script to variables, loops, functions and scheduling jobs.
• Linux on Servers and System Administration: users and permissions, packages, services, storage, logs and remote access.
• Linux Security: hardening a server and keeping it patched.
• Proxmox Full Course and Proxmox Tutorials and Complete Guides: building a virtualisation lab, ideal for practising everything else.
• DevOps and Cloud Computing: applying Linux skills to automation and cloud servers.
• Linux Deep-Dives: longer explanations of how parts of the system work.
• Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora: distribution-specific guides.
• Career Development: advice on Linux and system administration careers.

Who it suits

Students who have never used Linux seriously, developers who deploy to Linux servers but only know a few commands, and anyone heading towards DevOps, cloud or SRE roles. The style is calm and thorough, good for people who want to understand rather than memorise.

How to learn from it without getting stuck in tutorial loops

Linux is learned by breaking and fixing things. Watching is only the start:

1. Set up a practice machine first: a virtual machine, an old laptop or a cheap cloud server.
2. Type every command yourself and read its manual page.
3. After the Bash series, automate something you actually do, such as backups or log clean-up.
4. Follow the Linux Upskill Challenge, which gives a daily server task, and use the videos when you get stuck.
5. Rebuild your server from scratch once, using only your own notes.

Pair it with on Sefism

• The Linux, terminal and Git roadmap and its cheat sheet cover the command line skills every developer needs.
• The DevOps and cloud roadmap and cheat sheet show where Linux administration leads, and the Platform engineering and SRE roadmap goes further.
• The Linux Command Line is a free book to read alongside, and OverTheWire: Bandit turns command line practice into a game.
• The Missing Semester of Your CS Education covers the shell, editors and tooling side.

Best for: anyone who wants to run, secure and automate Linux servers with real confidence.
