Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

Challenging, refreshed some skills and learned some new ones. Would have learned more if I had a fucking mentor!

it was just all about covering topic, it would have been better if there was more exercises about the commands .

Powershell almost unusable at times. Have to find workarounds in order to complete Virtual Machine assignments.

A bit more difficult than the other courses due to learning more commands and remembering what each one does.

I would prefer doing windows PowerShell commands in one section and then Linux instead of going back and forth

The qwiklabs font is small and for me it was hard to read at times but overall it was an interesting course.

The Linux Lab part of this course is not that great. Some of the parts of the lab need to have bugs removed.

In videos the commands were often written too fast. Also, there could have been more practical exercises.

Would rate 5 stars, but that VLC issue in the Linux lab on the last week took about a month off my life.

Some of the labs in this course are broken/out of date and sometimes hard to understand if they aren't.

Good piece of information.

But the bad side is that the tests are too easy and too guided.

Interesting material but there could have been more support and more clarity on the tests
