You'll have to install it like on the bottom
looks like it snapped. Try:

apt remove snapd
When the compression algorithm goes too far
- Computer.tar
  
  .gz
  
  Akshyually, that's just archival format, not compression.
  
  Failed opportunity to create a compression algorithm called feather.
Yes. Arch Wiki probably has an article about this exact problem.
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!
Does it post?
- Instructions unclear. Wrapped laptop around post.
- He seemed to manage it just fine, it shows up for me with no issue
  Edit: /j
  
  (I was referring to the Power-On Self Test. It’s that blinky-light thing mobos do before booting off a disk. For a mobo to post, it just needs a cpu, ram and power.)
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
That's why you don't put your laptop in your backpocket
- puts it in my butt
  thumbs up
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.
Bringus Studios presents: Installing SteamOS on literal fucking roadkill
Oh, I know what that is, that is the computer of a Windows 11 user
- Something something Cloudstrike
- Its cringing
try to bury it in some rice first
I mean, Linux is pretty flexible. So, I guess yes?
Leaving vim be like:
- Well, yet another viable way of getting out of vim
Ergonomic keyboard approach.
looks like you bricked it.
- Repeatedly until it stopped screaming.
Gently used laptop
No lowballs Will not respond to "is this available" Price is firm
OS/2 WARP MIGHT BE THE BETTER CHOICE

Well, that's a challenging Linux install.
It will however run Doom as is.
I think you forgot installing the FLATpacks
I'd recommend CrunchBang, but it's no longer developed.
- It went crunch but not bang yet
  
  Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.
- There's actually a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork but it also hasn't been updated in 8 months
  
  If you're talking about BunsenLabs, it's definitely still active.
probably, can you run doom on it though?
It's gonna have to be "Linux From Scratch" at this point....starting with the hardware.
Of course! This is the perfect distro for your laptop
As long as internal compoments are not damaged by some reason
Put it in some rice
- Configures Catpuccin with Hyprland
  Will this work?
Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?
Try Arch, BTW.
- Too angled for arch
Shipping?
- "fell off a desk"
  
  How tall was this desk?
  
  ... That was Balanced on top of the statue of Liberty or something
That trackpad and palm rest is looking like Gizmo Duck
Doesn't look like a comfortable chair, but I don't see why not.
idk what happened but the laptop definitely seems less flatter than most of the jokes in this thread
Install Iron first.
Sweet ergomech laptop
Rinse it under water for 15 and a half seconds, that should do the trick
There's only one way to find out!
You don't need functional hardware to run Linux. It just runs on anything.
Sure... it will just buff out
It may be very mildly damaged, shouldn't be an issue just replace some parts
Dope design.
Avg Linux install after a year
Doom should be possible.
No ducktape in the roller. Also, are those two packages with belkin products? Reminds of their colorscheme.
I have an elitebook g6 running Linux just fine, I'm sure yours can too!
And how did it look on the inside?
Don't install Rocky on that paper cutout ahh laptop or you automatically lose
