Linux Desktop From Zero

Coursera · Intermediate ·🏗️ Systems Design & Architecture ·1w ago
This course takes you from a brand-new Framework Laptop and a blank USB stick to a fluent Kubuntu power user. Across four modules you assemble the hardware, flash and install Kubuntu, configure System Settings (display, users, file managers), customize the KDE Plasma desktop (themes, widgets, virtual desktops, KRunner, keyboard shortcuts, workspace effects), and gain the daily-driver skills that matter — terminal navigation, file operations, user and group management, system monitoring, and the LibreOffice trio (Writer, Impress, Calc). Every lesson is a screen-recorded walkthrough — you watch the actual click path and command sequence, not abstract diagrams. By the end you can install Kubuntu on a Framework, customize it without breaking anything, and use the terminal and LibreOffice with confidence. Aimed at first-time Linux desktop users who want a hands-on, modular, repairable laptop and a desktop environment they can shape to their own work.
