The first module dives into a deeper understanding of Linux architecture; you will learn about the inner workings of key Linux components like the kernel, systemd, and the Linux boot procedure. The following module will focus on storage and filesystems, encompassing local devices as well as cloud and datacenter storage solutions. Next, we will cover core components, including memory, processes, and the intricacies of command execution. Finally, we will explore Linux's evolution into a container-based platform.

Each lesson concludes with a real-world scenario, where Sander demonstrates the practical implementation of various features explained in the lesson videos.
