This looks pretty intense. Their time estimates add up to over 35 days (assuming a full 8 hours of work per day) to complete, although some of the estimates seem a bit weird. Basic Linux installation and usage is given 10 hours which seems like it must be very hand holdy.

Also, there are some rough corners. I went to the course material to see what is covered in that 10 hour course and it starts off with:

    *Install a Linux operating system*

    We will reuse the content from the PA lecture notes.
    Please install the Linux operating system according to PA0.
That PA0 link goes to https://ysyx.oscc.cc/docs/ics-pa/PA0.html which is entirely in Kanji but doesn't appear to have any extra information about installing Linux.

The machine translation of that page is amusing:

    The Eve of the World's Birth: Development Environment Setup
    The Story of the World's Birth - Prologue

    PA tells the story of a “Pioneer Creating a Computer.”

    The Pioneer intended to create a computer world. 
    But even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients. 
    To facilitate the creation of this world, even the Pioneer had to put in considerable effort to prepare. 
    Let's see what tools he gathered.

In the left menu there's a PA0 item. When you click on it, sub-items appear.

Here is one of the sub-items: https://ysyx.oscc.cc/docs/ics-pa/0.1.html#installing-ubuntu

The directions in question:

    Please search the Internet for "Ubuntu 22.04 安装教程" and follow the tutorial.
This course is not impressing me.

I would much rather learners be directed at a proper resource for doing something than trying to include all the info locally which inevitably will get out of date and become incomplete.

Yes, makes sense to me, especially since it isn’t really even the purpose of the course.
