From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes I think its power related due to the loose and/or possibly damaged USB c ports which are part of the motherboard of course... No cheap fix there. This laptop has been on a slow decline. If I just reinstalled Debian or any other distro, would it fix the issue or is it more likely a system issue that will follow me regardless?
Exactly the reason I think my next laptop is going to be one where repairability is a primary feature.
Not a fan of the design at all... Well obviously now lol think they'll eventually come loose off the motherboard and be useless. They're almost there anyway. Maybe time to start planning for a budget, emergency system
