Getting Comfortable with Linux as a First-Year Student

[iambeyondclouds]

I’m a first-year BTech student who recently started learning Linux after being introduced to it by a senior.
This talk is a beginner-friendly sharing of my journey — how I got started, the initial confusion I faced, core concepts that helped Linux “click” for me, and why learning Linux early can be helpful for students.

The focus is on making Linux feel approachable rather than intimidating, especially for beginners and freshers.
