1. Amen, Chris 👍

2. Mechanical engineer here and I just installed Linux Mint on my laptop. Very fun and interesting!

3. As a hunter of knowledge and gatherer of skills I want to say thank you for putting this out there.
   I try to pass on what I know any chance I get so that others can grow. I find it is so frustrating being told "I can't" without even trying. To me that translates to "I am unwilling to put myself out there and make an attempt even though you are here to have my back in case I stumble".

   Again, thank you for this video and the content you put out I have gleaned quite a bit from your videos and it has allowed me to further myself.

4. Thanks Chris for this. You're absolutely right, we can put limits on ourselves which will keep us right where we are and not moving forward. Awesome video. Thanks again.

5. Well I have failed very badly.
   I was probably 14-16 years old may be.
   I failed at installing linux.
   I didn't had backup drive or anything.
   So almost every time I try new OS I wiped my 500gb completely. Then switch to windows. Collect/recreate all data of 500gb with several months of efforts. And then again wipe all.
   This happened like 5-10 times.
   Some times it was because of bad mental state and some times it was anger and insanity. ( Several reasons )
   It was probably in 2012-2013.
   Linux was not very usable for kid like me back then.
   So I have failed badly.
   Now I am used to with lot of failing.

   The only problem is peoples around us makes us feel really bad about it each time we fail in all kinds of field at least in India.
   And sometimes by doing so, they set us on bad journey by making decisions for us.
   Sometimes It includes parents too.
   So stay put and keep failing

6. Chris you know how to tap your potential. From a technical perspective your videos are clean. No audio or video problems. Also you seem to be a master communicator. You take complex concepts and break them down into simple tasks. I understand I must sound like a fanboy right now. However I got to say you one smart dude. Thanks for sharing.

7. Thanks Cris for inspiration 🙂

8. Thanks Chris, I'm going to try 👍👌

9. Sir what is your discord server ?

10. This is why this is your best video…

11. Thanks Chris. Your awesome, I am still studying and watching your vids. Love them, I much better at Linux because of you and am loving Manjaro, from Fedora. Be healthy and keep up your great work. James

12. Let's say you try to implement something new to push your boundaries, and, well, after a lot of effort you get it done. My problem is: how would you know if what you did is a "good" or "bad" practice. How will you know that what you've learnt (although working) is the correct way of doing things?

13. When you say you can't do something then you close your mind down to the possibility that you may have otherwise found had you said yes I can. You stop looking for solutions and only find ways to not do something. When you say you can't you are basically creating a selffulfilling prophecy.

14. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. You have been very inspired me very much.

15. Thanks for you… I like your videos I'm from Sri lanka ….. I'm learning

16. What YOU need to learn is how to make your content more approachable to newcomers to Linux. And create more compelling content.
    The way it is now, in every video I've seen of yours is you assume everybody knows how to use the terminal and how to customize Linux.
    Also you never do any practical videos on Linux. Like using or benchmarking productivity apps, like Blender for example. All I see you do is install and trash distros.
    When I'm watching your videos I actually get less interested in Linux.

17. Over time I'd become less confident. Thanks for reminding me that. I am going to start something interesting today. Something challenging. Titus, you're changing the world. If I succeed, I will make it successful and I will mention that this video motivated me.

18. Amen! It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

19. thank you for the 3 hours of reading and making it 10 min long…. but i know that i rewind and re-watched it for an accumulative 5 hours… but i got er done son! lmao keep on keepin on!

20. Don't class anything as a failure.Class it as a mistake you made.

21. I guess learning is so hard due to our considerable fear of the unknown, it's just a matter of actually facing it as a reality and accepting that failing isn't bad per se. I believe the problem with the procedure of going from not knowing anything about a specific subject to someone who might be quite knowledgeable about it is the fear about being criticized by it, or at least having the most obvious flaws that are easy to notice exposed in such a manner that it almost seems as if it was brought up just from malice itself.

    A novice programmer knows his syntax might not be perfect as well as a someone who is learning to draw knows that his line tracing is unstable, just saying: "Oh, you are really bad at X" specially when, as I said, that X might be an obvious thing can be really desmotivating for a novice in any subject, really; that's why I think that some people just decide to make up excuses so they avoid making mistakes due to the nature of handling or facing things that are unknown, thus, killing any chances of them learning anything. To be fair the process of learning is something I find quite interesting due to all of the little factors that are involved with it and how your environment can affect it in a positive or negative manner depending on the individual.

    Other than that I believe this is a great video despite I personally don't agree completely with the "you can do anything" part as I believe there are limitations to what an individual can do, although mentioning this might defeat the purpose of the video, I think. Other than that, excellent video, Chris, keep up the good work!, just discovered your channel recently and it has cool and useful content in general. (and this isn't really related but I think I just wrote a little too much on this comment… lol)

22. I've seen some try to have win2k try to run on a dual core

23. Failure is my middle name 🙂
    Because of your videos i tried linux and since then i never looked back.
