So I got this weird bug – I updated my Pop_OS install and now Linux doesn’t boot anymore. I should probably boot from USB and fix this. I could figure it out on my own, but maybe it will be good knowledge for people searching on engines so any advice is welcome. Windows still boots properly. Let’s give people some alternatives to reddit :)
If Windows and Linux are installed on the same drive under different partitions, I seem to recall that a Windows update can fuck your Linux partition.
Was there a Windows update recently?
No, it can just affect the boot record in some cases. This is not that case.
This would be what I was thinking of then, thanks for clarifying.
It wasn’t the windows update. It happened after a Linux update.
I have been avoiding a deb upgrade to 12 1 because of this. However you have me wondering if I’m overly paranoid as my installs while on the same bootloader are on different drives
