From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am trying to study for my Network+, I have an Anki deck I downloaded from the internet that's very helpful, but I have to basically mark down myself which things I'm struggling with. I was wondering if there is a tool available that would automatically turn my deck into a quiz? I do not want to spend a lot of time turning it into a quiz myself, because there is a lot of material. I am okay with using Duck.ai (ChatGPT) for helping me with this, if needed. Just not aware of an easy way to do this.

I'm trying to avoid using non-free sites like Quizlet.

Any help is appreciated!

Why do you have to mark cards manually? Anki's algorithm already reschedules cards based on what you're struggling with. Additionally the card browser has an ease filter that you can sort by.

How is the quiz you want different than what Anki already provides? Is it that instead of providing the answer from memory, you want to be provided a list of choices? I'd argue if you're studying, it is better to do it the "hard" way by just knowing the answer, and then acing the test since its the easier multiple choice format. When I did Net+ and then Sec+, most of my questions were formatted this way, but I also manually added the multiple choice questions that were in my study book. For that I listed all the choices in the question field, then just the question and answer in the answer field.

Lastly, this isn't really a Linux question though, as Anki is cross-platform. You may get more response on Anki's forums.
