How did installing cosmic “fry” your laptop? There where situation 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.

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.

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).
