Apparently the thing making it to refuse to install is "TPM 2.0". I'm not a Windows user but a Linux user, and this simply makes me wonder: will TPM 2.0 in any way make PC hardware impossible to install Linux on? I remember t

In addition, the name "RTX" is really gaming oriented (raytracing), so seems not a very applicable name to workstations. (Not saying you shouldn't game on a workstation, but a workstation card will be worse at it especially f

All very nice, but not with such dated CPU and memory. I also have a thinkpad with archlinux, but a 10 year newer model (T14). The CPU is fine. But it also has 16GB of RAM, and I wish there was more, it doesn't even take that many fire

The only basic variant I used was qbasic, it was the first programming language I used! It's not horrible at all if a child can learn to make a game in it from scratch. However, qbasic doesn't have the line numbers (edit: at least

Would it then also work to fly a small rocket engine to the asteroid, attach to the asteroid, and turn on the engine to divert the asteroid? It sounds a bit more precise to execute than the nuclear detonation, but it also sounds like you wo
