Claude helps design 30‑day Linux command‑line workout, author finishes early

Following the outline, the author ran the exercises on a Debian virtual machine to avoid accidental damage from risky commands such as rm ‑rf, sudo misuse, or dd. They completed the first weeks in a couple of days and found the biggest improvement in Week 4, which focused on automation with rsync and backup scripts. Although the author finished the 30‑day schedule much sooner, they note that a newcomer would likely need the full month and additional guidance. The experiment left them 100 % more confident with the terminal and convinced that LLMs serve best as augmentation tools rather than replacements.
