Someone was confused with me because they didn't understand what I was talking about when I said life ore, but when I said thorium they understood.
Im australian and they werent so is calling thorium life ore just an australian thing or something? But its not just a me thing I know someone else who calls it life ore.
Thorium with /AVX/ instructions on CachyOS and Linux Mint runs beautifully, but on Windows is DEATH... it opens... you can see it for a second and it closes.... There are no error alerts, it just closes after a second. Can you help me understand what's happening?

I have tried all the AVX Thorium.exe files from the most recent to the oldest on GitHub (Thorium_AVX_120.0.6099.235.Win.zip to thorium_AVX_138.0.7204.303Win.zip). It's not a problem with my processor or Windows, since the latest release of Mercury Browser with AVX from GitHub works perfectly.
Thanks to the developers, in 2026 without them it would not have been possible to revive old processors
I’d really value feedback from people who actually know the space and feel free to subscribe so you're notified when part 2 comes out !
If this sort of thing isn’t appropriate here, mods, feel free to remove. Otherwise, I’d love to hear your critiques, corrections, and topic suggestions for future thorium/nuclear content.
