Fantastic

Without a doubt the best Linux learning app I’ve seen. Such a shame it’s unfinished as it’s without a doubt the best way to learn with the narrative element really helping me to remember.

Binged without realizing

I got hooked! It was the easiest way to learn. Great story to follow along while you learn the commands. Short readings that teach you what’s in the LPI! I want more!!

Very cool

It's a very interesting and cool concept.
I hope you keep this going and grow it into even more courses.

Fun for the basics

This was a great way to review the basic terminal commands. Fun and interactive. Very well made with little cultural references. I’m keeping it around to see if there is an update someday.

Very fun and helpful

Keep it going. It is a little basic where I am right now but I haven’t gotten far.
I would suggest a toggle to be able to type
Also can you make this open source. I think it would be a great framework to be able to make new lessons and people can add more to the app
Keep it up!

Resolution issues in IOS

Hi there,
I really like the app and the way it teaches you by having tou play along a storyline;however on my iphone 14 I was not able to go to far because I could not see the text on the left side of the screen.I tryiwd zooming out but that did not work

Oligarch jumpscare

Unfortunate. Otherwise fine

Involves religious myths in the game

Creator inserts religious myths into the game.

Genius

I’ve dabbled with Linux in the past and pulled up commands online just to see how it worked. Although I’ve only gotten through the terminal nav this has been the most I’ve ever understood about using Linux. The analogy to the universe is utterly stunning; none other than genius. This has simplified it so much for me. I’ll admit I got stuck for a moment in the very beginning on the absolute vs relative part but then it clicked and became clear. I hope the company expands on this app because it’s such a pleasure to use. 5 stars, double thumbs up!

Keep at it

I know the title seems a little misleading, but I just wanna say keep at this app. It’s been a great source to start me back on the path to Linux. I’m planning on taking the Linux cert in a few months and when I pass im coming back to update this post and say how you helped me. So keep it up is more like it.

Actually fun and helpful game

Surprised to say I found a fun game that’s actually teaching me how to use my computer. And it’s FREE. Genuinely impressed to find something so awesome. And on iOS!?

Hmmm

So the app has been great, so far. I seem to be encountering some strange Pro-Musk content that did not age well, however. It was clearly intended to be lighthearted, but seems like recent events have not been taken into account. Perhaps the developer is unaware of the current political climate, but it may be a good idea to go in and change a few names around to distance themselves from that.

Came looking for copper and found gold

Originally I was trying to see if the website “tryhackme” was on ios. Upon searching, I ended up stumbling on this. Looked promising, so the first thing I did was making sure if it was behind a paywall or not. I was glad to see that it wasn’t. I tried it out and it’s pretty solid for beginners getting into the linux OS. The galaxy analogy works perfect since I’m more of an analogy person myself. Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic introduction

This is a brilliant introduction to Linux. It is easy to learn, and teaches core skills. It is not very full yet, but hopefully the course will develop further with time.

Helpful Supplement

I’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, I’m impressed by the quality of its design and how interactive it is. It makes you feel like you’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 can’t wait for new lessons to be added.

It’s perfect but so short

It’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. I’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
