[Arpit01]

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some tips that helped me while learning RHEL:
. Practice commands everyday
. Use man page and --help often
. Try solving challenges without copying commands
. Keep notes of important commands
. Learn SELinux basics early
Hope this helps someone starting out!

@Arpit01 thanks for sharing this! If you ever feel like expanding this into a short “Getting started with RHEL” article or a longer list of beginner lessons, it would be a great resource for others. Would love to see more posts like this from you!

@Arpit01 Your list provides an excellent starting point for any beginner. To truly build robust and lasting Linux skills, I recommend combining these foundational steps with a focus on safe sandboxing environments and tackling real world mini projects. Crucially, adopt a mindset centered on understanding and learning the concepts, rather than simply relying on copy & paste shortcuts.

Thanks for sharing these valuable tips. I hope many newcomers use them to start their journey!

+1 to learn SELinux early. If you find any instructions which ask you to disable SELinux, it's NOT instructions for professionals.  Nowadays there should be very little reason to disable SELinux or even put it in permissive mode, except for a short time during troubleshoot.

I would add learn Systemd early. It provides significant improvements on common tasks, and when you transition to image mode you'll need advaned Systemd skills.
