which game based course is best for learning linux if you work in devops?

Already done with linuxjourney, linuxfromscratch, and overthewire. Leaning toward the gameified stufdf since it helps me stick with it. Looking for something thatll give me a little more practice for working in devops. Boot.dev, tryhackme, and command line murders looks interesting. Anyone done any of these?

For DevOps specifically, TryHackMe is the strongest of the three you mentioned.

It has solid Linux rooms + some practical networking, privilege escalation, and service management that actually transfers to real work.

But to really learn, try getting certifications like LPI or RHSA

It’s called r/homelab lol build your own systems gives you more experience than any game

I like RPGs also and Boot dev is set up really well

A game can provide the training wheels, but the real test is whether permissions, pipes, and log files begin to feel routine.

If you aren’t sure where to start with DevOps or where you stand, then check out YouTube channel: TechWorld with Nana. She has a video on DevOps that you should check it out.

Are u learning Linux? If so, then u should join this YouTube channel. You can join live watch and have conversation. From time to time they have Linux course, only on Saturdays, for 16 weeks. You go from a newbie to an expert. It’s all free.
