📌 Operating System Qwiklabs
This will be your first encounter with Qwiklabs. Qwiklabs is a learning platform that Coursera uses to provide hands-on practice with admin commands, troubleshooting systems, terminal commands, and much more!
It operates on a cloud environment (VM machines) so there's no need for learners to purchase or install software in order to practice these skills. Everything is done in the cloud and learners are free to experiment without the risk of breaking anything in their system.
However, it is subject to bugs and glitches that are commonly present with online platforms. Be sure to refer and familiarize yourselves with the Qwiklabs FAQ's guide, located in the knowledge base, to troubleshoot the problems that you may encounter. Nevertheless, a lot of the problems stem from user error! So make sure to follow and understand the steps in the lab!
