Helpful Supplement

Iโ€™m a beginner Linux learner and found this really helpful to better understand the file system and permissions. The scenarios were fun and the allusions to current events and pop culture helped to connect the material.

Great interactive learning app

This app is very well made, Iโ€™m impressed by the quality of its design and how interactive it is. It makes you feel like youโ€™re playing a game at times to test your knowledge. I never leave reviews so that says a lot about this app

Awesome app!

A great learning tool, I canโ€™t wait for new lessons to be added.

Itโ€™s perfect but so short

Itโ€™s amazing and useful but it has a few lessons the developers should complete it

Too difficult.

I am a Microsoft DOS user. I know all about directories and changing directories and files and folders and such. also, I know a few basic Linux commands. But, progressing in this application, has proven to be more than difficult. I never know what the app wants. I never know how to get to the next screen. Iโ€™m stuck at the very beginning and cannot continue. That is a disappointment. I need to learn linux.

As a certified dullard

Thank you I finally understand

The Galaxy analogies are distracting

I appreciate that this app was created, but there is way too much focus on comparing things to the solar sistema. My mind understands command structure; the galactic references come fuse me.

Great Learning App

I thoroughly enjoyed learning some basic Linux commands through this app. It was fun and interactive. Way better than sitting through lectures or videos.

An Amazing Resource for Learners

This app does a wonderful job of explaining and describing Linux concepts that are much more straight forward than most text books. The games will engage the younger audience and will help the older audience more solidly grasp the command line tool by providing visuals to associate it with. I hope the app developers keep up the amazing work

Pls fix zoomed in letters

I cannot tap x for the permissions exercise, either let me zoom out and in or fix the zoomed in letters.

Great app for beginners! I am learning quickly
