Hi everyone,

I’m planning to enroll in a CCNA course at The American University in Cairo, but the admission requirements say the course requires “Windows-based computers and applications software.”

I use an M1 MacBook running Fedora Asahi Linux natively (not in a VM). My setup works well for Linux development, but I’m not sure whether it will be compatible with CCNA labs and networking software.

Would dual booting, a VM, or borrowing a Windows laptop be necessary?

Hey everyone,

I’m completely new to Linux and this is my first time using Fedora Linux. I installed it on my old MacBook mainly to start learning Linux and understand how everything works.

I recently started reading Occupy Linux: Basic for Hackers, but the book uses Kali Linux for all the examples. Since I’m still a beginner, I’m not sure if I should continue with it or switch to something more beginner-friendly.

Are the basic Linux commands and concepts the same between Fedora and Kali, or will I run into a lot of differences later on?

Also, what should I focus on first as a complete beginner?
