Running on terminal the command pip install wxPython gets to build the wheel and it takes long while rocketing the cores temp to 95C. What should I do?

This may be caused by a hardware issue. Please edit your question and list your computer's specs.

@karel what's a command to list what is needed here?

The command is `sudo apt install neofetch && neofetch`

The NVIDIA Quadro P620 graphics sticks out as a potential problem. What are the results of `ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended` ? What are the results of `ubuntu-drivers devices` ?

@Psionman, thanks, I've added the specs. What do you mean that the P620 graphics can be a potential problem?

That's why I asked you for the results of `ubuntu-drivers devices` in the preceding comment. I want to check if there are any available drivers for the NVIDIA Quadro P620 graphics card.

Not related to the thermal issue - Do you know that `pip` would install `wxPython` for the discontinued `python2`? If you want wxPython for `python3`, use `pip3 install wxPython` instead.

Your processor was released in 2020. The older kernel of Ubuntu 20.04 may not support it very well. Try Ubuntu 22.04, and check if the heating issue is still present there.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
