  1. Hello, thank you for your education;

    Where I do the create-project command I encounter this error:
    “Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.”

    Help if you can.

    1. Using Composer, you can specify the PHP libraries on which your project depends. Composer is used in all modern PHP frameworks and operating systems such as Laravel, Symfony, Drupal, and Magento.

    1. composer.lock is a file that holds information about all installed packages and their versions and locks the project to specific versions.

  2. Hello, how can we delete things related to a record when we delete it from the database?

    For example, when we delete a post, the comments related to that post are also deleted.

    1. You can set some values for onDelete:
      cascade: It means that if their father is removed, all his children will be removed. For example, deleting an author removes all blog posts and comments.
      set null: After deleting their father in the field related to FK, the value is NULL. For example, the author_id field in the posts table is null.
      restrict: If you set this value, it will not allow the removal of the father if he has a child. This means that as long as an author has a post or comment, you can not delete the author’s record and it gives an error.

    1. One of the most important changes to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is the migration to Kernel 5.4, which has many improvements to hardware support. It also supports WireGuard (a secure VPN topology) and comes with Livepatch (no need to reboot after a kernel update).

    1. The APP_KEY variable contains a unique key that is automatically generated when installing Laravel via Composer. You do not need to change this value.

    1. Ubuntu is suitable for desktop and server use. The current version of Ubuntu supports systems with the following resources:
      Intel x86 (IBM-compatible PC), AMD64 (x86-64), ARMv7, ARMv8 (ARM64), IBM POWER8 / POWER9 (ppc64el), IBM Z zEC12 / zEC13 / z14 and IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper I + II / Emporer I + II (s390x)

    1. The main Apache configuration files in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf path are generally:
      httpd.conf: Main server settings
      modules.conf: Settings for enabling and disabling Apache modules
      access.conf: can contain access settings.
      srm.conf: Contains some other Apache settings such as DocumentRoot

    1. You must update the security plugins by running the following command before starting the installation:
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade

    1. Every released version of LTS is supported on desktops and servers for 5 years, and this version is no exception to this Ubuntu rule, and will be supported until 2025.

    1. To play all media formats such as music, movies, etc., we need to install several new libraries:
      sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

    1. By installing a program to improve battery consumption, you will both increase battery life and prevent the battery from overheating. To prevent overheating in Linux laptops, TLP is a great tool that controls CPU temperature and extends the battery life of laptops in the long run. You can install it in the terminal using the following command:
      sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw
