Study rules
Linux is learned in a terminal, not in a textbook. These are the rules Abdallah Mekky studies by, and the ones that are easiest to forget when tired.
Lab it, do not just read it. The exams are hands-on.
Type every command yourself. No copy and paste.
Break the system on purpose, then fix it from the rescue shell.
Use man, --help and /usr/share/doc. Learn to find answers fast.
Reboot to verify. If it does not survive a reboot, it is not done.
A small lab every day beats a long session once a week.
