    looks like it snapped. Try:

    apt remove snapd
    
    [–] [email protected] 73 points 2 days ago

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

    You'll have to install it like on the bottom

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

    [–] [email protected] 72 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days 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

    I think you forgot installing the FLATpacks

    When the compression algorithm goes too far

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

    puts it in my butt

    thumbs up

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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

    Instructions unclear. Wrapped laptop around post.

    He seemed to manage it just fine, it shows up for me with no issue

    Edit: /j

    Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days 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.

    probably, can you run doom on it though?

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

    Ergonomic keyboard approach.

    Well, yet another viable way of getting out of vim

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

    Oh, I know what that is, that is the computer of a Windows 11 user

    OS/2 WARP MIGHT BE THE BETTER CHOICE

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago

    try to bury it in some rice first

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

    Well, that's a challenging Linux install.

    It will however run Doom as is.

    Sweet ergomech laptop

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

    There's only one way to find out!

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    It went crunch but not bang yet

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.
