   It works without CUDA, but it will be slow. That being said, many workloads wouldn't run on a normal desktop machine anyway and will need to be run on a cluster somewhere.

    Bitcoin can do about 7 transactions per second and Ripple tests have shown it can handle about 70,000. In the real world Ripple has never hit anything near that so we don't know for sure.

    BLE uses so little power its insignificant. WiFi can actually save power if you are using cellular data. There is not one size fits all solution here.

    This is probably the perfect OS for any shared terminal: libraries, internet cafes, etc. You don't need native apps, just a locked down browser that can keep your settings and bookmarks across devices.

    You can also make a great pizza in a cast iron skillet. It will hold a lot more heat than a baking sheet and gets your dough pretty crispy.
