    Avg Linux install after a year

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 162 points 1 week ago

    You'll have to install it like on the bottom

    [–] 7eter@feddit.org 91 points 1 week ago

    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.

    [–] Cooljimy84@lemmy.world 74 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

    [–] reinei@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

    Great one! (Not just a nice one, a great one even.)

    Now get out! Just Get Out!

    Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    [–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

    [–] addie 4 points 1 week 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.

    Its cringing

    [–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

    try to bury it in some rice first

    [–] spamspeicher@feddit.org 23 points 1 week ago

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

    Well, that's a challenging Linux install.

    It will however run Doom as is.

    [–] Moshpirit@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

    I think you forgot installing the FLATpacks

    [–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    It went crunch but not bang yet

    [–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

    probably, can you run doom on it though?

    [–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

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