Reason

Improve our FAQs to include Conda. As well as a few paragraphs about HPC's new on-demand service: https://hpcondemand.inl.gov

Design

Modify markdown files accordingly and run MooseDocs.

Impact

Improve our documentation by removing no longer valid articles, and creating new ones.

Referencing #15268 as it may be somewhat related

Under the "Update MOOSE" section of the "Getting Started" page, you might consider adding a comment about possibly needing to update conda. Today I ran the following, suggested commands to "Update MOOSE":

cd ~/projects/moose
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/master

cd ~/projects/YourAppName
make -j4
./run_tests -j4

Which then led to a bunch of compile errors: image

I presumed that since I had libMesh errors that I probably needed to update my conda, so was able to refer to instructions here: https://www.mooseframework.org/help/troubleshooting.html#buildissues

But it would probably be nice to provide some guidance in the "Update MOOSE" section that updating conda might be necessary.

Ran into another user today, who needed libquadmath0 for their WSL installation. Need to test, if having this library installed on WSL version 1 is detrimental. If not, we should just include that library during the setup instructions for WSL.

The user was my intern. Thanks for the help @milljm 👍
