What! I can't give exam on my Machine, I don't have any other machine, What should I do?

There is no any offline centre near me, This is seriously a dumb idea, to support mac but not Linux.

Having Sentinel run on other operating systems, such as Linux or Chromebook, is on Kryterion's roadmap and we hope to have it expanded soon.

You can contact the Kryterion support with the below link.

I know it's very tough to arrange any other machine but only option I feel is if you can arrange another machine or go for an onsite exam.

The strictly requirement of windows is absurd and it's a long pending issue, with clear no intention to fix.

Hey, I'm new here, but I'll try to help you out. So, as long as your system meets the minimum requirements, you should be good to go. Just make sure to check the exam details before registering. As for study materials, there are a ton of resources out there! You could try a crash course like Linux Academy or Udemy. They have plenty of courses on cloud computing and should help you prepare for the exam. Just be sure to check the reviews before purchasing. Oh, and one more thing - have you heard about centos 7 end of life? It's a big deal in the Linux community. CentOS 7 will no longer receive updates after June 30, 2024. So, if you're using CentOS 7, you might want to consider upgrading soon.

Hello,

I'm new with GCP. i used ubuntu since 2007 and i discover today taht Google dont allow using LInux for passing the exam. This is unrespectful.
