Solar Opposites has "The Wall" for dramatic relief and "Silver Cops" for action relief, they really push it hard and because of that it works.
I do not know what Rizz and Martin is.

I haven't seen it but what's up with the tendency to make quasi franchises out of animated sitcoms? Like making that show look similar to Rizz and Martin or Futurama to The Simpsons.

I’ve hit that point in life where I want a smaller phone so I can use it easily in one hand, but need a larger phone so I can see the screen.
There is no winning answer lol

I switched it around to top when I installed it and used that way for years, seemed weird to me to have it on the bottom lol. Just recently I was lying in bed dead tired on my phone and I was like wait why is this so unwieldy

i think firefox does this by default so i've never known another way except when fixing something on my mum's phone. taskbar on the top seems like a bad way to live

You need a smaller phone, or a larger thumb.

install took a little while but was very painless. mint now installed and yeah this little machine can actually cope with web browsing and playing a youtube or iplayer video now which is really all I wanted it to do so thank you!
I shall probably be joining the linux cult at some point because I've had nothing but unpleasant experiences trying to get windows 10 to do what I want it to, and mint's very first thing being a popup saying "hey come and mess about with the settings til you have them how you like them" was sort of the nail in the coffin. I doubt I'll be migrating until I have to but when windows 10 stops working I am sure as heck not going to move to another windows unless microsoft bucks their ideas up bigtime!

oh good news is that I have had this machine open before and I know exactly where the ribbon cable is - it's the fact it's not properly connecting that makes it broken in the first place, so best case scenario it's already disconnected (and worst case is that I just need to take out the very easily accessible cable!)
thank you once more :)

Looking at those specs, I think I ought to recant my Pop recommendation and look for a more light-weight Linux, specifically the Xfce Linux Mint: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
As a bonus, Linux Mint XFCE is very "Windows" shaped, still based on Debian, and even more lightweight than Pop! OS.
(I would also recommend using USB and not MicroSD. I don't know why, but I've had problems with using SD cards instead of USB drives on laptops.)
Doing some searching, it seems like people installing Linux on a laptop with a broken screen are usually able to do so by disconnecting the monitor. I can't find the repair manual for this, so this might be difficult... (I would try connecting a monitor at least, to see if you can access BIOS without )

it is a very generic piece of garbage by Thomson which is a company I did not know made computers before I got it, and the model number is UK-NEO10A-2BK32. It has an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 (1.44GHz) and a whopping 2GB of RAM. I can't imagine it has anything but integrated graphics.
Has a micro SD slot if that is in some way more useful than installing via USB.
Thank you much! I shall look at Pop! and any future recommendations and see if they can mount the main hurdle of a busted display.
