I macgyvered the hinge of a free, old laptop. It was free because the hinge was ripped loose.
It was wet outside yesterday, so I made do with what I had at hand because I didn't feel like getting wet riding to the hardware store.
So now I have a nice 10th gen Intel laptop running EndeavourOS Linux.
