    How did installing cosmic “fry” your laptop? There where situations in the 90s where a bad x11 conf could damage your CRT, but outside of overclocking it’s pretty hard to damage your hardware now days.

    x11.conf is one of my first memories about anything Linux.

    I remember when I was just trying it (back when "edgy eft" was new) via live booting it, the very first customization I had to make was editing that for to allow my extra mouse buttons to work (the back/forward buttons that are common now were pretty new-ish back then, and by default it only worked with the 2 main buttons and the wheel (and the wheel button).

    Has it stuck on system 76 screen and since the model I bought came with system 76s CFW you can't just do a fresh install or you lose one of the entire selling points of the laptop because that will wipe the custom embedded firmware.

    So I get to send my private laptop back to the company so they can fix it pretty much putting all of my data at risk by doing so.

    Super shitty for a $2200 laptop to be honest
