Wanting do destroy my PC

[Cloud22]

I have a laptop. I dont want it. I dont need it. I dont want to burden someone else with it. So i need a way to destroy it without physically doing something i.e hammering. I want to do it within OS and make it so i can no longer be used. I dont want it to even boot up. Please link me a guide or tell me how.

1. Obtain a free Linux distro. Ubuntu, or LinuxMint
2. Install, wiping the whole drive when you do
3. Give it to someone who will appreciate the hardware.

No. The hardware is windows 95. It has no use. I bought a gaming rig recently thats why i asked.

'Hardware' is not Windows95. Hardware is hardware.
What laptop is it?

The fact it's Windows 95 based hardware, no one would want it anyway. Honestly, make sure your files are erased, and that's it.

Paraphrased from a book I recently read:
Some laptop is better than no laptop"

But if you don't want it...take the drive out, hit it with a hammer, and throw the thing away.

What is this desire for "a way to destroy it without physically doing something i.e hammering." ?
