From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you know if OP has certifications or experience?
Do you know how knowledgeable he is on Linux ?
Beside I will say it again, you can totally teach introductory courses on some subjects without being an expert on it.
And in practice, I have definitely seen people teaching with tons of certifications and alleged expertise on the topic but who couldn't teach anything. And that was of very expensive courses on rather specific Linux topics.
I personally would much prefer to be introduced to a new subject (like BASH101) by someone who has zero certifications but some experience and a real ability to teach.
Because I have seen a lot of super certified teachers who ends up unable to teach anything and who are recycling the same course without any practical experience in the last decade.
Lol
Are you sure you've read the OP?
I don't disagree with that, but again I think you're in a wrong post. Op never said that they're so experienced but just lack certifications. What I've understood is that OP is just a power user with no other experience, neither from a job, nor from personal hobbies but on production live environments
And that being said, please explain me how you end up making such assumptions about OP's skills and what did they say that made you feel that you know about their level of knowledge.
It's the opposite, I don't make any assumptions on OP's knowledge but my understanding of your comment is that you are assuming that he is just the average Joe that likes Linux but might not be able to teach on the subject.
I just told him that teaching is an avenue he could look into and he agreed. Nothing more here.
