A curated list of some of the best free online courses to learn Linux in 2019There is no doubt that Linux is one of the most popular operating systems to run server-side applications. I have seen almost all Java applications running on Linux barring a couple of them which runs on Windows as service.If you take out standalone apps like IDEs or tools, most of the real world Java applications run on Linux e.g. payment gateways, trading systems, and other financial applications.That’s why it’s very important for any programmer, IT professional, or a developer to learn and understand Linux, both operating system, as well as command line.
