OpenWISP

[easy] Get started with Linux to improve your FOSS development skills

Premise: this task is only for new students who have not done a similar task previously and are not using Linux already! Don't try to cheat because we will unassign you the task!

So you want to become a software developer? Then you should start learning Linux! Development on linux is much faster and powerful, plus modern linux distributions are very easy to use as well!

We suggest Ubuntu or ElementaryOS (which is based on Ubuntu) but any other linux distribution you like is fine (Devuan and Fedora are other good examples). If you don't want to wipe out your current system you should install in dual boot mode!

Once your new OS is ready, please make a screenshot of a terminal window which shows your username, then tweet the screenshot mentioned above with a nice message using the #openwisp and #GoogleCodeIn hashtags, include the link to the tweet in your submission!

We have more tasks similar to this one if you like! Take a look at our [easy] tasks :-)
