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.

    Estimated Average Time: 10 hours

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 think it's a difficult thing to scale. But they're open about the results they've been able to achieve, and the challenge of scaling.

That link is in Chinese, not “kanji”.

35 days (of 8 hours) is equivalent to 10 ECTS (European Credit thingies).

throw_await

So equivalent to 2x 90minutes lectures + homework

I’m guessing a good chunk of the page is AI generated - em dashes and random emojis.

Automatic translation, for sure, as evidenced by this sentence in the two's complement section:

In fact, complement is a concept in counting systems, and the Chinese term for it is "complement".

Some folks actually were taught to use em-dashes as part of their normal writing, especially if you've taken a technical writing course.

I dislike that people think you're an AI if you're using proper typography. :(

Just writing multiple paragraphs with compound-complex sentences makes people think you're an AI. :(

Thanks, I was looking all over the linked page for some kind of overview.
