Can an OS be bricked?:
A brick (or bricked device) is a mobile device, game console, router, computer or other electronic device that is no longer functional due to corrupted firmware, a hardware problem, or other damage.[1] The term analogizes the device to a brick’s modern technological usefulness.[2]
Edit: you may click the tiny down arrow if you think it can’t. ;)
:) the hardware is still more capable than a brick:
Plug in favourite installation media stick, push reset button (if there is one), reinstall.
