I let my computers search for exterital intelligences https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.p ... et=project

You find it in the repositories of your distribution. The program eats a portion of unused CPU time of all threads it finds to check the data seti finds in the universe to check for inteligence in it. My computers ere running it on 8 theads on each computer in backgroud.

My computers are I7 with 8 threads + 1 nvidia GPU each.

Very interesting, 1 nvidia GPU each means 8 GPU, 8 display cards?

Nope.
Means that the Intel CPU i7 has got 4 cores and through hyperthreading look like it had 8 cores.
1 nVidia GPU means 1 graphics card.
(seems as if hcentaur13 has got more than one such machine.)

All top 500 supercomputers run Linux now, with
5 supercomputers run Ubuntu
20 supercomputers run some form of RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
109 supercomputers run the RedHat affiliated CentOS

while the top 2 run with RHEL
very impressive, and some normal people really try out CentOS.

HP workstation like this one:
https://store.hp.com/us/en/ConfigureVie ... quantity=1
can choose to "Linux-ready" and don't come with Windows. For this model that is $375 cheaper which is great.
Dell workstation can be chosen to come with Red Hat with extra cost.

HP Z8, I pick all most expensive options, it costs around $100,000 USD Dollars, very impressive and it can come with "Linux ready" instead of Windows lol

Dell workstations can come with Ubuntu and get Windows cost out of the deal. Look like Lenovo is the one without caring LInux.

Look like Lenovo is the one without caring LInux.

Can't speak for their later hardware, but lenovo's older laptops are very linux friendly.
