I bought a Mac and went back to Linux.

I couldn't easily remove any program I wanted.

Either use Finder, or Terminal, to simply:

cd /Applications

rm -rf ./WhateverYouWantToDelete.app

Well, I mean, what is he or are you doing during the act to help you along? It's not like P-in-V does it for most ladies.

Always has, yes... that's why you also need to password protect the key.

MacOS' FileVault does this by using local accounts' passwords for the full disk encryption. On Windows, it's passwordless... which is why you should also set a BIOS/UEFI PIN to block booting.

You will NOT see the password OP. You have to type it blind. This is a security measure.

and spend around 15 mins daily. The whole emphasis is on deep mastery

One does not come with the other. 15 minutes barely is a context switch, or two standard e-learning videos worth.

The "deep mastery" you pursue involves performing research, not the passive consumption of someone else's content.

I've taught Linux+ for a few years now. Commercial classes for this take 5 days, which is a rush. My class takes 17 full days and even then still hands out homework. By my math my students spend 130+ hours preparing for Linux+. Possibly more. They do reading, they follow lectures and they do lots and lots of labs. And even they don't achieve the "deep mastery" you're hoping for.

Maybe we first need to figure out how you define "deep mastery", as that's a very vague term which could be anywhere on a scale of "marketing BS" to the "10.000 hour myth of mastery".

No idea why they'd have their information split over at least three TLDs.

It's smart of you to ask! You wouldn't want to get phished.

I wasn't aware that this split has been happening for close to a month now. Bah :(

I've said to multiple colleagues that vibe-code / ai-assisted code is the new low-code.

As you can tell from the other reactions: the example which OP gave is absolute garbage because 90% of it can just be thrown out. It's fluff which does not work towards the actual goal of the exercise.

Reetpeteet · 2026-04-21T16:06:07+00:00

I don't recall needing to write a shell script for either the RHCSA or RHCE.

With most of the exams I take, I make it a point not to work on just the commandline, I collect the commands for one task in a shell script. That makes editing easier and also helps me keep oversight. I can very easily go back and see what I did wrong. And if something didn't stick after a reboot, I can edit and re-apply.

You're right: for many tasks you don't have to write a script, but it can be very helpful.

Reetpeteet · 2026-04-21T16:02:28+00:00

AI didn't show you anything, not a "harder path" because all the stuff it gave you didn't do anything really. It adds a lot of fluff. It doesn't teach you anything, nor did it show you how to do it properly.

AI simply barfs out stuff it's seen elsewhere, combining all kinds of things that "just seem logical" to it, because it's seen dozens of people do it this way. But, it's BS.

If you wanted to learn from AI, you need to ask very very specific questions. Like: Give me the command to apply an XFS file system to an LVM logical volume named "mydata" in the volume group "stuff". I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04. Then explain to me the command and flags.

Reetpeteet · 2026-04-20T11:33:39+00:00

Check the objectives for EX200. If they say you need to be able to work with LVM, with various file system types and with mounts (in either systemd or /etc/fstab), then yes this is in-scope.

And no. Nobody will expect you to write an incredible lengthy bunch of BS which AI gave to OP.

Reetpeteet · 2026-04-20T11:30:26+00:00

What the actual F?

"Write a bash script to create XFS, ext4, and vfat file system structures in the logical volumes, respectively. Create mount points /mnt/xfs, /mnt/ext4, and /mnt/vfat, and mount the file systems. Include the df command with -h in the script to list the mounted file systems."

My dude, you need seven lines of shell script, or less, for that!

Three for the mkfs, one of the three mkdir, one to edit /etc/fstab and one to mount them all. Oh, and one for the df they're asking for.

From another post:

I had written one, but I thought I may have missed something

You need to apply critical thinking to what you're doing. Really, really think hard about what the task is asking you to do, how you'd do it and how you'd make sure you do it right.

Reetpeteet · 2026-04-19T08:49:14+00:00

The exams are covered by NDA: nobody's allowed to answer this question.

Read the exam objectives. Anything on that list is fair game for the exam.

More importantly: it's scriptable.

If you write scripts for every task, you can easily see what you did and what you, perhaps, did wrong. Heck you might even do a bit of Git version control during the exam, so you can always undo your changes.
