About the show

Linux+ for People With Jobs is a practical, audio-first course that teaches you to think and work like a real Linux administrator—without burying you in theory or trivia. You’ll learn the commands, concepts, and workflows the exam expects, but more importantly, you’ll build the habits that keep systems stable in production: verifying assumptions, making safe changes, and troubleshooting with a calm, repeatable process. Every episode is designed to help you study efficiently, retain what matters, and walk into the exam with confidence that actually transfers to the job.

Episode 12 — Storage mental model: block devices → partitions → filesystem → mount

February 7, 2026 · 19 min

Storage questions on Linux+ are easier when you treat storage as a layered model rather than a pile of commands. This episode builds the foundational chain: block devices provide raw capacity, partitions or logical volumes carve it into…
Episode 11 — initrd tools and custom hardware contexts: embedded and GPU use cases

February 7, 2026 · 19 min

Linux+ includes initrd/initramfs concepts because early boot is where “it worked yesterday” becomes “it can’t find root” after a kernel, driver, or storage change. This episode explains initrd tools as the mechanisms that assemble an early…
Episode 10 — Hardware discovery mindset: CPU, memory, devices, and what looks wrong

February 7, 2026 · 16 min

Linux+ expects you to reason about hardware through the lens of symptoms and system reports, not through brand-specific knowledge. This episode teaches a hardware discovery mindset: start with what the OS believes is present, compare it to…
Episode 9 — Kernel modules: what they are, when they load, how to reason about them

February 7, 2026 · 15 min

Kernel modules matter on Linux+ because they explain how Linux supports diverse hardware and features without baking everything permanently into the kernel image. This episode defines modules as loadable pieces of kernel code that can be…
Episode 8 — Architectures and GUI stack: x86_64 vs AArch64, X vs Wayland, licensing basics

February 7, 2026 · 17 min

Architectures and desktop stacks are exam-relevant because they influence compatibility, performance expectations, and troubleshooting direction. This episode clarifies the difference between x86_64 and AArch64 in practical terms…
Episode 7 — Distros and packages: RPM-based vs dpkg-based thinking

February 7, 2026 · 16 min

Linux+ tests distribution awareness because real environments are mixed, and exam questions may describe commands, file locations, or package behaviors without naming the distro explicitly. This episode builds a clean mental model for…
Episode 6 — FHS tour: why where things live matters on exam questions

February 7, 2026 · 17 min

The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) shows up on Linux+ because “where” is often the clue to “what,” especially when questions compress a scenario into a few paths and log snippets. This episode teaches the FHS as a practical map of…
Episode 5 — PXE boot in plain English: where it fits and what can fail

February 7, 2026 · 16 min

PXE boot is tested on Linux+ because it’s a clean example of network-based provisioning that relies on multiple services working in the right order. This episode explains PXE in plain English: a machine without a local OS asks the network…
