Topics for a Linux intro course by tla in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Introduce the concept of how almost everything in Linux is a file and can be read from / written to. This is important when understanding pipes. Show pipelines - logical && ie cat x | grep y | grep z. Logical || ie grep -E 'x|y|z' Useful commands like top and ps. Explain selinux and why it's a good idea.
