TPM for RHEL?

I'm having a little trouble understanding TPM with Linux (RHEL) and had a few questions

​

1. It seems that TPM is a physical hardware chip located on the motherboard, so does that mean only physical linux devices that already have a TPM chip can utilize TPM?
2. If a physical machine does not already have TPM how can we get TPM on it?
3. How can we get TPM on virtual machines?

I teach Linux for free link in comments

You might have seen a similar post before, I am making this post again because of various reasons

1. People could not join because they couldn't pm me (some people wanted the link to be here.)
2. I want people of all experience levels as the server is more than a teaching server I want it to be a server for everyone who is interested in Computer science, open source, and linux things.
3. As the server is growing I need more teachers and mentors so that the quality remains unaffected.

I try my best to show people the power of open source and linux.
Thanks for your time.

Debating on going back to windows

I love Linux and have been enjoying it for the week or two I’ve been on it. But lately I’ve been wanting to play games with friend and it’s hard to do so since most games don’t support Linux natively. I’m just thinking out in the open and see some people’s responses

Any ideas how we apply UWB techs to reproduce an apple tag to trace and locate items?

Any ideas how we apply UWB techs to reproduce an apple tag to trace and locate items?

The accessory hits human's intuitive needs and impulse buying with little rational thinking.

​

>Apple today introduced AirTag, a small and elegantly designed accessory that helps keep track of and find the items that matter most with Apple’s Find My app. Whether attached to a handbag, keys, backpack, or other items, AirTag taps into the vast, global Find My network1 and can help locate a lost item, all while keeping location data private and anonymous with end-to-end encryption.

Its sales might suppress iPhone.

​

Any ideas to get the similar accessory done?

Im trying to make a list of how to pronounce MOST Linux distros.

The correct way of spelling all “MAIN” Linux Distros (Not in a order)

1. Ubuntu : Oo-Bun-Tu (Nguni Bantu term that means “Humanity”)
2. Pop!OS Pop-O-S (No Information on why it’s called Pop!OS)
3. Arch : Arch (Due to the logo looking like an arch.)
4. Manjaro : Man-Jaro (As in mount killmanjaro)
5. Debian : Deb-ee-Ian (The merge of the creator’s ex-wife name and his name Debra + Ian)
6. OpenSUSE : Open-SU-SA / Open-SU-SUH (Stands for Software und System Entwicklung)
7. Solus : so-lus ( Just means alone :( )
8. Endeavor : En-Deav-Or ( to strive to achieve something )
9. Zorin : Zor-in ( Looked everywhere, can’t find a reason that it’s called this. Although I found that it means a highly confronting drunk man)
10. Gentoo: Jen - Too (a species of penguin)
11. Rasbian : Ras-bee-ian (Fusion of rasberry and debian)
12. Slackware : Slack-Ware (As in a distro for slackers who just install everything instead of package manager resolving dependencies)
13. Linux mint : Mint (Mint)

Reference for the most used distro's (Ubuntu loses ground | Gnome loses ground)

On Hardware for Linux website, are some good reference statistics for the most used Linux distributions. They are obtained from people who have probed their computers on the their website.

As you will see below, the things are changing:

​

Ubuntu has regressed 17% in popularity in the last year.

Technical question about the scheduler

When learning about the current scheduler for regular jobs (the totally fair scheduler, I think), it was mentioned that it uses a red-black tree. I asked about the insertion/removal complexity, because the key used for ordering would change at different rates (based on the nice factor) and do you couldn't rely on regular RB tree algorithms. The response I got was that if there are this many jobs, you're overloading your CPU anyway and you'll have worse problems to worry about.

My question is: why use a red-black tree in the first place, then? If the expectation of 8 jobs in the queue (example that the instructor gave) is too big, why not use a simpler data structure?

If this is the wrong place to ask, please direct me to the correct one :)

Loffice 365: Run web-based Office 365 in Linux as if it was a part of the native OS

The noscript pretty much says it all, plus Nautilus right-click integration for mime-types.

A number of months back I created WinApps, a "Linux Subsystem for Windows" to run applications natively as part of the OS (with file manager integration, etc). Since it received such a high amount of attention, I've decided to continue similar work.

For those of you that do not wish to run a full subsystem, but simply want Office, Loffice 365 may be a good option for you.

Digital Art and Linux

I'm wondering if there are any digital artists who have made the full transition to linux?
Right now I use Blender on Linux and its perfect, but all my Adobe software is on my macbook and transitioning between the two is slowly becoming a bottleneck in the process. My biggest problems are that I use Photoshop for 2D animation, and I take image sequences from Blender and put them into Premiere. Anyone have a similar workflow and found solutions within Linux?

Undervolting AMD GPU in Linux

Hey, I'm in the process of switching to Linux completely. 95% of everything I need is on Linux except for this one thing...: GPU Undervolting. On Windows you can just pop into the Radeon Software or use MSI Afterburner(which is what I use on Windows for everything GPU related).

Thing is, by default my GPU(RX 570) runs at up to 1.15V. After undervolting it and slightly lowring the core clock(from 1286MHz to 1215MHz) it gets as low as 0.875V which reduces my temperatures to the point where I have my fans running at 40% and not reach over 75°C. Running it fully stock in some games it can't even maintain stock clock speeds because of power draw.

Is there a way to do it? Obviously I'd prefer it to be as easy as possible but if it's a bit complicated that's also fine as I'd also allow me to learn more about Linux.

Thanks a lot!
