Trump hosts Armenia and Azerbaijan for peace summit

Armenia and Azerbaijan have signed a peace agreement at the White House, aiming to end decades of conflict. President Donald Trump facilitated the meeting, with both leaders crediting him for the breakthrough. The deal will reopen key transportation routes and create a major transit corridor named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity. This agreement allows the U.S. to expand its influence in the region as Russia's wanes. The conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region has lasted nearly four decades, with recent developments encouraging Armenia to seek closer ties with the U.S.

Part 2/4
Though this has a 64-bit processor, let me try the Win10 x86 32-bit LTSP installer from 2019: and it worked! The install went fine, but it ran dog slow. I used the native browser to download and then upgraded the #BIOS to the latest for the W510 and everything was noticeably slow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I want to use are 64-bit so this version of Win10 is not really an option.
To test & try to troubleshoot, I installed the latest version of #Debian #Linux. The install went fine, and the user experience was much better than the 32-bit Win10 – no real noticeable slowness. Ok, Linux is an option – but not what I had planned for this laptop. Let me wipe the drive (getting rid of #GRUB) and retry installing Win11 or Win10 LTSP.
Now when I boot with either Win11 or Win10 LTSP #USBs the windows logo flashes and the dreaded black screen with blinking cursor appears. We don’t even get the option to install…. (Ugh!)
Currently I booted into #ShredOS and am wiping the drive as a load test.
