You'll have to install it like on the bottom
-
looks like it snapped. Try:
apt remove snapd
-
Yes, but it can't run flatpaks....only snaps
-
Great one! (Not just a nice one, a great one even.)
Now get out! Just Get Out!
-
-
Yes. Arch Wiki probably has an article about this exact problem.
-
Does it post?
-
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Just do a headless install.
-
-
That's why you don't put your laptop in your backpocket
-

Ergonomic keyboard approach.

Gently used laptop
No lowballs Will not respond to "is this available" Price is firm

looks like you bricked it.
-
Repeatedly until it stopped screaming.
-
-
I mean, Linux is pretty flexible. So, I guess yes?
-
OS/2 WARP MIGHT BE THE BETTER CHOICE

Well, that's a challenging Linux install.
It will however run Doom as is.
-
probably, can you run doom on it though?
-
As long as internal compoments are not damaged by some reason
-
I think you forgot installing the FLATpacks
-
It's gonna have to be "Linux From Scratch" at this point....starting with the hardware.
-
Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?
-
Put it in some rice

Configures Catpuccin with Hyprland
Will this work?
-
-
Of course! This is the perfect distro for your laptop
-
That trackpad and palm rest is looking like Gizmo Duck
-
Try Arch, BTW.
-
Too angled for arch
-
-
Install Iron first.
-
Rinse it under water for 15 and a half seconds, that should do the trick
-
Dope design.
-
There's only one way to find out!
-
It may be very mildly damaged, shouldn't be an issue just replace some parts
-
Sure... it will just buff out
-
Sweet ergomech laptop
-
You don't need functional hardware to run Linux. It just runs on anything.
-
Avg Linux install after a year
-
And how did it look on the inside?
-
Doom should be possible.
-
Don't install Rocky on that paper cutout ahh laptop or you automatically lose
-
No ducktape in the roller. Also, are those two packages with belkin products? Reminds of their colorscheme.
-
Doesn't look like a comfortable chair, but I don't see why not.
