Eww, removing Windows was the first thing I did. It's running Manjaro and was my first jump into Linux actually.
Revive? No, but it's the life support it needed.
Maybe turn it into a Chromebook?
That sounds fun, but I was (and still am) an idiot and locked myself out on the bios. I've reset locks on bios before, but as I've discovered recently, Acer found out you can charge people for the privilege instead.
At that point, I'll simply use this as a learning experience and continue exploring Arch. Another bevi of copium for me, please.
This is how i know that purchase was ill-advised.
