Hi,
First, best wishes to everybody on this list. Let's make sure we
continue to make the world more open.
Okay, here's my 2 cents, or flame bate, whatever you want to call it :-)
I would propose the following changes:
* Change 'VS Code' to 'VS Code/Codium'. Better would of course be only
Codium :-).
* Change Gitea to Forgejo. Also because the governing structure with
Codeberg is better. Maybe add a topic on how to distinguish between
governing structures (company vs foundation).
* Change MariaDB, MySQL to MariaDB, PostgreSQL
* Restore the term 'info pages'?
* Change 'processors (x86, ARM)' to 'processors (x86, ARM, Risc-V)'.
* Change journalctl, dmesg to include syslog. Not every system in the
world is in the systemd ecosystem (yet).
* Change 'Administrative Permissions' to 'Elevated Permissions' to
keep in line with Linux/Unix parlance. It's not Windows.
* Change 'log into remote systems for accessing a Linux shell and
transferring files using SSH' to 'log into remote systems for
accessing a Linux shell using SSH and transferring files using SCP',
or remove the commands and make it: 'SECURELY log into remote
systems and securely transferring files'.
* Change 'id, last, who, w' to 'id'. It is still LPI ESSENTIALS, not
LPIC-1.
* Add a small section on 'digital autonomy'?
LPI Essentials is introductory, easy, not for systadmins but for someone
with a general interest in Linux and open source. In practice it is
currently also for schools, as in my country most teachers are still
pretty brain washed in the world of W. So, please keep it easy.
Regards,
Jeroen Baten

Hi there,
I hope you've all had a good start into the new year, despite the
world getting more mad every day. We'll focus on the sane stuff and
start working on an update for Linux Essentials in 2026. I've created
a draft for the new objectives, which I'd like to share with you today.
The current version of the draft is available in the LPI wiki:
https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/Linux_Essentials_Objectives_V2.0
There is also diff between the current version 1.6 and the initial
draft for version 2.0:
https://wiki.lpi.org/w/index.php?title=Linux_Essentials_Objectives_V2.0&diff=5878&oldid=5877
<https://wiki.lpi.org/w/index.php?title=Linux_Essentials_Objectives_V2.0&diff=5878&oldid=5877>
A lot of the changes are improvements in the descriptions and
objective/topic names. The overall outline and weights hasn't changed,
but some objectives were restructured and received updates, i.e.
regarding Linux distributions and using Linux in the cloud. I've also
added SSH and systemctl and journalctl, while syslog and net-utils are
gone now.
I'd appreciate you taking a look at the proposed changes, i.e. if
you're teaching Linux Essentials, but, of course, everyone is invited
to review the draft. If you have any additional suggestions or
comments, please feel follow up on the list or privately.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Fabian
