  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    You'll have to install it like on the bottom

    looks like it snapped. Try:

    apt remove snapd

    Akshyually, that's just archival format, not compression.

    Yes. Arch Wiki probably has an article about this exact problem.

    [–] [email protected] 74 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Yes, but it can't run flatpaks....only snaps

    Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

    Honestly the internals aren't necessarily damaged even if the case is obliterated, but you'll need a replacement screen, mouse, and keyboard for starters. Highly likely that the damage to the sockets and ports will require removal of parts and idk if it will still post afterwards. The MB is often smaller than the case itself and the bus is often wires in laptops, so it might have survived.

    All in all, probably costs more to fix than a new PC.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

    Most of the laptops I've had open lately have had about the top third be the motherboard and the bottom two-thirds be battery, with maybe some ports and speakers tucked down the side. So I'd expect that last of replacements to include the battery, too.

    I might check whether the hard drive survived - a decent M.2 is small, expensive and reusable - and maybe the RAM if it's not soldered in.

    That's why you don't put your laptop in your backpocket

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

    I mean, Linux is pretty flexible. So, I guess yes?

    OS/2 WARP MIGHT BE THE BETTER CHOICE

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

    Well, that's a challenging Linux install.

    It will however run Doom as is.

    I'd recommend CrunchBang, but it's no longer developed.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It went crunch but not bang yet

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

    I think you forgot installing the FLATpacks

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

    It's gonna have to be "Linux From Scratch" at this point....starting with the hardware.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

    probably, can you run doom on it though?

    Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?
