 ====Install DaVinci Resolve 16.1 in Linux Mint and Ubuntu, Debian====
+NOTE: smi has not been able to get DaVinci Resolve to work on a Linux Mint or Ubuntu machine yet [20200113]
 See [[https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/06/how-to-install-davinci-resolve-15-in.html|this link]] for instructions relevant to Ubuntu and Linux Mint, to create a .deb and install.  Scroll down to "Install professional video editing software DaVinci Resolve 16 or 16.1 in Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint / Pop!_OS".  I've digested these instructions here:
   - ''sudo apt install libssl1.0.0 ocl-icd-opencl-dev fakeroot xorriso''

 May also work with Mint 19.3 as it's based on Ubuntu 18.04.\\

+====Measure system speed====
+From [[https://www.wikihow.com/Check-CPU-Speed]] scroll down to Linux.
+  - Open Terminal
+  - run ''uname -r'' and note the version number X.XX.XX-XX
+  - run ''sudo apt-get install linux-tools-X.XX.XX-XX linux-cloud-tools-X.XX.XX-XX''
+  - run ''sudo modprobe msr'' as this will install the MSR module you'll need to run the tool
+  - Open another Terminal and run ''sudo openssl speed'' This will start the OpenSSL speed test which will push our CPU to the maximum.
+  - Return to the first terminal window and type ''sudo turbostat'' This will display a variety of readouts about your processor.
+Look at the Bzy_MHz and TSC_MHz columns to see turbo speed and regular speed for each of the CPUs. Core and CPU identify core and CPUs on the core.
+====System Information====

+===Find an active process and kill it===
+  * ''ps -efr | more'' -- list all processes (ef) with ones using most CPU time first (f)
+  * Find the process number to kill (e.g., 1234)
+  * ''kill -9 1234''
