Many people who want to start with domestic operating systems often ask:
“I don’t know Linux — can I directly start with Huawei Euler certification?”
 
They worry that jumping in without Linux knowledge will lead to confusion and wasted time — but learning Linux first might seem too slow and make them miss the momentum of the Euler ecosystem.
 
The short answer: Yes, you can start learning, but not blindly.
You’ll need to build your Linux foundation first, otherwise you’ll struggle with practical tasks and exam comprehension.
 
Let’s break it down clearly — how Linux relates to Euler, which basics you should learn first, and how to plan your exam preparation step by step.
 
1.Core Concept: The Relationship Between Euler and Linux
 
Huawei openEuler is an enterprise-grade operating system developed based on the Linux kernel.
Its core structure — command line, file system, user permissions — is nearly identical to Linux, but it adds local enhancements such as improved kernel security and better compatibility with Chinese hardware.
 
If you start Euler without Linux basics, you’ll likely face three major problems:
 
You can’t handle practical (hands-on) exam tasks
openEuler certification includes real operation tasks like LVM setup or Nginx troubleshooting.
Without basic Linux command-line knowledge, you’ll be stuck memorizing commands by rote — and fail when the scenario changes.
 
You can’t understand the theory
Exam questions about file system mounting, user management, or software repositories are all built on Linux fundamentals.
Without that, you’ll only memorize answers without understanding why they work.
 
Your preparation time doubles or triples
With Linux basics, passing Euler HCIA takes 1–2 months;without them, it can take 3–4 months or more — and confusion often leads to giving up halfway.
 
2.The Essential Linux Basics You Must Learn (2–3 Weeks Fast Track)
You don’t need deep expertise — just the Linux fundamentals that support Euler learning:
 
(1)Command Line Basics (1 hour/day practice)
Navigation: cd, ls, pwd, mkdir, rm
File handling: cat, vim, cp, mv
System info: uname, top, df, free
 
(2)Users and Permissions (Security Basics)
User management: useradd, passwd, userdel
Permissions: chmod, chown, and the meaning of r=4, w=2, x=1
 
(3)Process and Service Management (Operations Core)
Processes: ps, kill
Services: systemctl start/enable nginx
 
(4)File System and Mounting (Storage Basics)
File systems: understand ext4, xfs, etc.
Mounting: mount, umount, df -h
 
3.Beginner Exam Path for Euler Certification
 
Phase 1: Build Linux Basics (2–3 Weeks)
Resources: Free video tutorials like “Linux for Beginners” (Bilibili, YouTube)
Practice: Install CentOS or Ubuntu in a virtual machine
Tools: Use Xshell or FinalShell for remote command-line exercises

Dumps Tip: Start with a Linux fundamentals question set — test yourself after each learning milestone.

Dumps Strategy: Combine Linux theory + Euler operations — for instance, use cat to analyze logs in troubleshooting questions.

Euler is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of China’s domestic operating system ecosystem.
If you start from scratch with a structured learning plan — Linux basics + targeted dumps review — you can absolutely enter this field successfully.
