Jason has a wealth of Linux knowledge and takes the extra steps to make sure you are exposed to the multiple ways commands can be entered. It would be a wise choice to take Linux courses from him.

The first two lessons (and quizzes) flowed very naturally, with the instructor not missing a beat, adding test and verification scripts so you knew that your configurations were solid, services running, etc.

Like "/snap/bin/certbot certonly --nginx" as an example of thoroughness being taken.

I also recommend reviewing tmux, Caddy, MySQL Load Balancing, etc., as they cover concepts you need to architecture your solution on containers or in the cloud. Structure is thorough, and doesn't hide information you might need, and I appreciated the mix across different Linux distributions.
