Our Verdict
While this Udemy course titled 'Ubuntu Desktop for Beginners: Start Using Linux Today!' offers valuable insight into navigating the Ubuntu Graphical User Interface, potential students should be aware of certain limitations. The course strengths include clear and engaging instruction from the instructor, Cody Ray Miller, and a good grasp of basic Ubuntu features and software installations. However, aspiring learners may find that there is insufficient emphasis on using terminal commands for advanced operations, and troubleshooting common issues proves to be another area with limited focus. Discrepancies between the content and newer versions of Ubuntu and VirtualBox might confuse or deter some students, making an update to the course material worthwhile. Additionally, interaction with the instructor seems lacking as Cody appears inactive on the Q&A board – response delays and overall absence may negatively affect student engagement and satisfaction. Although this Ubuntu Desktop for Beginners course provides a foundation for familiarizing oneself with Linux through Ubuntu, those looking for in-depth tutorials or up-to-date instruction might find alternative resources more suitable to their needs.
