    It may be very mildly damaged, shouldn’t be an issue just replace some parts

    You don’t need functional hardware to run Linux. It just runs on anything.

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

        If you’re talking about BunsenLabs, it’s definitely still active.

        (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.)

          Yeah, I was just making a dumb joke cause I like bad jokes :)

          It’s a pun. Post as in power on self test, and post as in post to social media.

  • Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
