Prepare for the Linux+ XK0-006 exam (CompTIA Linux+ V8). In this lesson: the RPM and dpkg families of distributions, software licenses (open source, free software, copyleft, proprietary), server architectures (x86, x86_64, AArch64, RISC-V), the filesystem hierarchy standard, from /etc and /var to /proc and /sys, and the Linux desktop (X server, Wayland, display and window managers), with Pinecrest Media, a fictional video streaming company, as the running example. Includes three original practice questions.
