I replaced Windows on my Lenovo laptop with Ubuntu Linux to get more hands-on experience with Linux, using the terminal, and learning how Linux systems work.
I later used Ubuntu as the host OS for my security homelab, running virtual machines through VirtualBox.
After moving to a MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon, I switched from VirtualBox to UTM.
This repo is just a collection of notes, commands, screenshots, and things I learn while using Linux. It's mainly a place for me to document what I'm learning and track my progress over time.
