I’ve been toying with the idea of having a little hobby computer store for years and I’ve reached the point where I feel I have nothing to lose in trying it.

I don’t intend to make it my main source of income but I’d like to have some sort of formal knowledge base to resort to, regardless I’ve been acting as the tech guy for several years for a lot of people.

Where can I find some good courses/resources, preferably online, to improve my knowledge base?

I’m a long time Linux user so I intend to use my hobby to make some noise about it.

    I can’t offer any resources other than what’s already well known, but I can say that there is no better way to learn than just starting projects.

    If it’s something you want to build then you’re more motivated to learn because it’s something you enjoy.

    I am a software developer now, but it took me way longer than it should because I just kept consuming knowledge but nothing really connected until I started actually building things.

    So you could set up Linux servers headless, Practice admin tasks until comfortable. Using cloud for building networks and implementing security is great fun.
