  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • 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.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I think you forgot installing the FLATpacks

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

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

    idk what happened but the laptop definitely seems less flatter than most of the jokes in this thread

    [–] [email protected] 85 points 1 day ago

    looks like it snapped. Try:

    apt remove snapd

    Doesn't look like a comfortable chair, but I don't see why not.

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

    [–] [email protected] 155 points 1 day ago

    You'll have to install it like on the bottom

    [–] [email protected] 71 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

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

    Now get out! Just Get Out!

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

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

    When the compression algorithm goes too far

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

    Failed opportunity to create a compression algorithm called feather.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

    probably, can you run doom on it though?

    Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

    Ergonomic keyboard approach.

    Well, yet another viable way of getting out of vim

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

    OS/2 WARP MIGHT BE THE BETTER CHOICE

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

    There's only one way to find out!

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Well, that's a challenging Linux install.

    It will however run Doom as is.

    I have an elitebook g6 running Linux just fine, I'm sure yours can too!

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

    As long as internal compoments are not damaged by some reason

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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