One thing worth looking into is if your thermal paste needs replacing.
I see you've got an 8145U, that's old enough that it might need re-pasting. Laptops generally have terrible thermals to start with, so if the paste goes bad you'll often see them start to thermally throttle on fairly light workloads (like Deltarune).
Another thing worth considering would be to turn on thermald to better control your temps.
See, I think this is the inevitable and indeed, intended outcome of the current administration. Corporate elites find capturing and corrupting state and local governments to be far cheaper, so their goal is to break up the US federal system into smaller parts and then go around buying entire towns/cities/states until eventually we have an official aristocratic dictatorship.
The biggest issue with the scenario even as you describe it is the extremely high likelihood of war between various states over things like aid, trade disputes, and sheer resource wars as e.g. Colorado runs out of water and Oklahoma continues to have no money and becomes desperate at the loss of federal funds.
Free-to-play refers to a specific type of game distribution model where the game itself is free, but it includes microtransactions, an optional subscription, or both.
Free Software is software that is given freely to the world in its entirety, source code included. It's different because of the complete lack of profit motive, in most cases.
He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it's lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.
I mean at that point you gotta admire the tenacity
Ext4 is gonna be the fastest for general daily use. The extra utility of copy on write filesystems is stuff like efficient snapshot backups, optional compression at rest for your files, and really really fast copy operations.
AMD's drivers are fully FOSS and built into Mesa, whereas Nvidia's are closed source, so yes, AMD GPUs are more reliable and less of a hassle on Linux. However, Mint makes dealing with Nvidia drivers easy, so it's honestly your call there.
The cluster is human brains all hooked up to each other. So the robots don't understand why human brains are so good at solving problems, but they still can exploit that utility in a way that makes us humans feel very not-special.
It's possible that the lower max speed could be caused by a number of things. First of all, do you have IPv6 enabled? I don't know about your ISP, but mine has an issue where using IPv6 causes dropped packets on uploads. Disabling IPv6 in the router fixed that for me.
Another possibility is that there could be a slow peering connection between your internet provider and your friend's, even if it's the same company, there could be congestion between the specific nodes depending on the time of day.
