I am working on unix. This doesn’t mean I have whole and sole knowledge of the Linux/Unix. But this does mean that I can share few tips to avoid first few hurdles when traveling the path of linux education. I have seen many peoples, very enthusiastic for linux, they treat open source as the god of the computer worlds, but when I ask them what they know about linux, they say nothing. Why? The main reason behind it is the few hurdles in the linux education.

I will mention few hurdles people face here

People are born with windows. Lolz but true. When today’s child first handle a computer, 90 percent see windows first. So finding easiest linux is difficult task in windows world.Its like the mother tongue, you don’t need to learn it but you need to learn other languages.

Misconceptions on complexity of linux. We heard from everyone that linux is great but its not the work of normal peoples, its only for geeks.

Games. Yes this is a reason. Linux don’t have great games like the windows platform and we cant do much in it.

Command Prompt. Many times doing a job is linux is through command prompt only and it makes people scary about linux. Off course who will not love the double click way?

These are the few hurdles we face in linux education. So what is the solution?

We will go through some points to avoid these hurdles.

Know why you want to learn linux? That is what is the real purpose of learning the linux.

Learn about the Open Source. Means what is open source and how it works(Here it need to be mentioned open source doesn’t mean always free.)
