I failed my Linux certification

If you're not failing some, you're not pushing hard enough.

[@MadeByGPS]

100% my friend, thank you for the reminder.

Word.

Well said :)

[@tinman3586]

What about barely passing? Does that count?

[@HirokoNishimura]

Love this 🙌🏽 I tell people I'm a "professional beginner" - always learning, always a beginner! 😄

I failed my first 2 aws devops certification. I was 30 points away from passing on both occasions. Thanks for sharing.

[@programmer9809]

is the ccp easy to pass?

[@MadeByGPS]

You got this!

[@Snowballbuilder]

You don't fail unless you quit. You only learn.

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

Sometimes not quitting early enough is failure.

[@MrMerino45]

Hey, just stumbled upon this. That's awesome and very brave attitude! You have to admit your failures and mistakes, to grow and learn from them. Being open to learning makes you humble and you, randomly outta nowhere, just impacted me with your openness and honesty. Thank you!

[@MadeByGPS]

Well said! Thank you for watching

You’ll get it next time Gwyneth. I missed my CCNA on Saturday and it has lit a fire in me. I am sure you feel motivated too! Good luck.

[@angelbenitez8035]

It’s really cool you shared! Instant like for being so honest

[@alhadkhade3867]

This video was more inspiring for me, than any other "how I passed" video out there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how to look at one failure. Especially I like the attitude that failing (by not using dumps) is better than passing with the help of dumps. Wish you good luck for future exams. Waiting for another video... But this time it would be "how I passed ..." 👍🏻

[@bulcub]

got my certs using dumps!! and once hired, LEARNED THE REAL WAY!!

[@RobertJohnson-lb3qz]

@@bulcubSorry, rookie question, what is a dump?

[@bulcub]

@@RobertJohnson-lb3qz you purchase the questions, then go take the exam after about 2/3 weeks of studying. 90% of folks use the dumps aka test questions. Once you get hired, the company hopefully will teach you the REAL DEAL

Building a small home lab has really helped me learn linux. Be mindful of the rabbit holes though, I tend to get lost in them.

You got any good tutorials on that? Would love to give it a try :D

Similarly a recent obsession for me and running Pop as my main! Keen to hear your thoughts on why you chose that cert specifically - ie why not LFCS etc

[@MadeByGPS]

LFSC is up next :) wanted to cover my basics first.

[@ghostman76015]

i love your attitude in this video. Great job and I hope you are doing great since this video. I had a great interview in December with Amazon getting a technical position. Then just recently interviewed for a different position at another local and I bombed so hard, I felt it was one of the worst interviews on my part. But you know what, I got the job anyway. Something about my attitude in the interview appealed to the interviewer. But like you said I am continuing to study and learn new skills and look for the next opportunity.

[@MadeByGPS]

Things turned out well for me! You’ve got the right mindset :)

[@herotrojan1645]

just do the lpic exams samples.. but not trying to memorize it.. you do that with a mindset that is if you found something unfamiliar about the question you should check that environment, command and do some practical on it..

[@xammocoloniax]

Howdy. I just failed mine as well, scored 470. Been pushing hard at it the past three weeks, but used it very lightly before. I took many tech exams, this is my first failure. My confidence going in was so-so, but I was telling myself it's the usual butterflies, always turned out ok before. I finished it with 40 mins to spare and then reviewed it all... I truly thought I did enough to pass. Anyway. I won't bother with a retake anytime soon, focusing on other tech, but the studying pressure was a good base to continue building on. As for resources, I first used the video course from LinkedIn Learning, then Christine Bresnahan from Udemy, plus a few popular YT channels (Shawn Powers, DJ Ware, others' random videos). Of course I also ran various test VMs and practiced the commands and worked with the files/directories. Didn't try any books and don't plan to, never used them. I guess the most annoying thing with this exam is learning all the command options and file paths... the courses show you some options, but you're expected to dig deeper yourself. In the real world, you'd just query the options and search the files, as you'd probably know the commands themselves and the filenames. Sigh. Onwards!

[@MadeByGPS]

Onwards indeed! Thank you for sharing :)

[@darylray4664]

Thanks for sharing your journey ❤. I love your candor and emphasis that the purpose of getting a cert is to learn and not to memorize exam contents/rubrics. Thanks for sharing the Kali/Linux book - does it mostly work on Debian distro would it also work if I use Fedora33/ Ubuntu 20.04? You got this !

[@kuraudotienda]

Thank you for sharing. You just got a new subscriber . I use pop os too and I'd like to please know what theme you are using.

[@TheWright52]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jeronnamoe]

I failed my amazon interview. it hasn't really hit me yet. but yeah. I'm trying to get back into IT after 2yrs. I'm unemployed and have no money to spend on training courses so I'm using the internet as much as possible. I feel like I felt before I left IT, being torn in different directions and having to learn stuff I don't want to fill my head with. frustrating...but you gotta do what you gotta do...

[@MadeByGPS]

hey there, if you're interested in cloud, checkout learntocloud.guide/ I put it together and it's meant to be a guide into a jr cloud engineer skillset. I've added some resources there too. Some are not free but not too expensive. I hope it helps.

I took my Linux Essential exam yesterday and I scored a 260 and I was a little disappointed but I must keep on going

[@SupreetSinghsuppi]

AAYYYEEE POPOS! I started with POPOS last year. PopOs is my sweetheart. I just moved to Manjaro.

[@MadeByGPS]

Why did you move????

[@SupreetSinghsuppi]

@@MadeByGPS PopOs is a sweetheart, and I just love it. With that being said, I believe it is also important for me to grow as a programmer and a Linux user, so I moved to Manjaro. PopOs is amazing, but at the end of the day it is based on Ubuntu and it can be restrictive in some cases. Hence I chose to move. Arch distros offer a lot more freedom and I can experiment more with them.

[@HeikkiKetoharju]

I just found this video out from random. So am I right, you just decided to learn Linux, found out it's interesting and then decided to try it on your desktop? Woah! I think I know that feeling... Happy Linuxing!

[@MadeByGPS]

Yes, that's correct! I'm starting with Pop OS, people are telling me eventually I should try some sort of Arch distro. Thank you for the welcome :)

[@HeikkiKetoharju]

@@MadeByGPS Well, Arch distros are more unstable and require more manual tweaking than Pop. It may be a good idea to try installing Arch to a virtual machine, but for a beginner it's quite laborious task! I tried installing Arch after four years of Linux usage. It was an interesting experience! However, learning modern sysadmin stuff and installing Arch are a little bit different skillsets. But you might know more about internals of Linux system.

[@ayasolaris4971]
