Do any of you have LPIC certification or want to get it?
I really want to do the certification this year. I don’t need it for my job (unfortunately) but i want to do it for myself.

LPIC is a great cert to aim for, especially if you’re doing it for personal growth. I don’t have it, but I’ve considered it in the past—might revisit the idea this year, too. Good luck with your journey!

thanks to you. i hope i can manage to fit the learning into my schedule
The LPIC-1 certification is made up of two exams: 101-500 exam and 102-500 exam. You need to pass both exams to officially get the LPIC-1 certification. Passing only one exam does not give you the certificate yet. The 101-500 exam covers the fundamentals such as system architecture, installation, package management, basic GNU and Unix commands, devices, and file systems.
The 102-500 exam goes deeper. It includes scripting, administrative tasks, networking basics, security, and essential system services. I have already cleared the 101-500 exam and now I am preparing for the 102-500 exam, which goes deeper into topics like file systems, permissions, networking, and system services. It feels more advanced than LPIC-1, but I find the challenge exciting. Working through the LPIC-1 certification exam Preparation material and practicing commands every day has really improved my confidence. Once I pass it, I will receive the LPIC-1 certification.
So in short:
- 101-500 = part 1 fundamentals.
- 102-500 = part 2 administration and networking.
- LPIC-1 = both exams completed.
This should help you understand the structure without confusion.
