This is an Acer Aspire ES1-512 with integrated Intel graphics, so I am still betting it's likely the RAM stick that decided it didn't want to be alive anymore. Luckily for me I can get a new 8 GB DDR3L stick for like 12 USD.

It's a single stick :|

I'm thinking it might be RAM cause when I booted it early today it had a similar corruption happen just as I opened a few tabs on Firefox, then it wouldn't start. I fully charged it and tried to start again, and it was working fine until the login screen, whereas it corrupted again and resulted in the photo I took.

The power light keeps flashing when I turn it on now, so I suspect it might be RAM failure.

I'm gonna try to shove a Linux Mint distro on it. But if this error happens again I'll know it's the RAM and will take measures to replace it.

EDIT: Seems like the power led keeps flashing on and off, so that's probably it...

I was using Windows 11 before cause I wanted to use the Xbox app so I could get Rewards points if I left my gaming PC, but with the bad quality of the SSD installed on it I might just shove Linux Mint on it and call it a day. My only usage intention is programming/browsing the web. And if I ever get a bigger SSD I could just use a Windows virtual machine to run the Xbox App on.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I actually like the game, otherwise I would be playing something else. I just dislike the way the community has dragged it into a dumb direction because of the devs actively choosing to put Shipment on every game since MW2019. Most players now literally have an aneurysm if they don't fight someone within 5 seconds of spawning.

That kinda turns it into futuristic GTA, doesn't it? I like that CP2077 is in first person.

I am thoroughly enjoying this Elon-Trump feud. We all knew it was coming, but I am very glad it happened right at the beginning of Pride Month.

You could just ask Batman for smoke bombs if you wanted!

KEEP GOING! Rip each other's dicks off!!!

They're both arguing like redditors. This is hilarious.
