Maybe it was my fault as this course is clearly listed as Beginner. But I found this course to bare bones and basic, it is for people who have basically never used Linux, or arch, it is more about installation. He has a few videos going over stuff not really relevant to arch in itself like GUI features of Gnome DE. This course is good for a noob, if you want to install arch safely and learn how to get a working system and a bit about the security and updates great. But for me I was hoping more for the general ins and outs of same of the more advanced terminal scripting etc.. but that is me being a noob as really I was looking for a bash shell scripting course. But as somebody who already used arch as a daily driver but is comfortable with basic stuff it was not worth it.

Great course for understanding Arch Linux and a way to start on it. Got everything I wanted from the course, hope to see this course get the appreciation it needs. Aside from that, I would like that the audio gets improved, I had to get my headphones all the way up to hear clear what the mentor had to say. But Great course to do.
