About us
Learn Linux, Cloud and DevOps, one course at a time
We are an independent, bootstrapped EdTech portal and learning platform from the same team behind It’s FOSS, the web’s favourite Linux and Open-Source portal.
Linux Handbook (LHB) aims to make learning accessible for everyone.
Here, you’ll learn the Linux command line in detail with eBooks and courses on Linux, cloud-related technologies, DevOps tools and more.
Our Story Starts in late 2018
In the autums of 2018, Sylvain Leroux and Abhishek decided to work on a new portal that will have educational Linux material for the people interested in learning the server side of Linux. Be it for their career, hobby or homelab.
While Sylvain ceased his online presence, Abhishek continued it with the help of other professional.
Then, in 2023, Linux Handbook took a turn towards online education and started providing no-nonsense, hands-on focused courses.
LHB Courses vs Main Portal
The main Linux Handbook portal works on recurring subscription. You get everything for a yearly fee of $50.
While this arrangement works for many, some members expressed their desire to only get relevant courses instead of paying for a full unrestricted access.
And hence this Courses portal was created to allow people to only purchase the course they want.
The purchased course is accessible forever. So, you just have to pay for it once and you get all the future updates on the course (if any).
