Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what’s wrong?

You are right, it doesn’t happen with any other O/S except iOS where you have to pay people/Apple to fix it (or reset the OS) or Windows where the stock response is “reinstall the O/S”

How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach. If not… Find someone local to you who is able to fix it (good luck with that…)

As for the rest - you come over as someone who expects someone else to fix your shit for free with no information other than “waaaa it’s stopped working”

Fwiw, based on your brief description of symptoms, I would say your boot device file system is broken somehow. To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS and fsck it (however if it mounts, copy valuable data off onto other media, then fsck it) . How to do that is left to your powers of Google. Not warranting my response in any way.

Best of luck.

First up - I know nothing about your specific problem. Let me add some pointers as to why you may be having difficulty…

You need to provide way more detail than a screenshot (which shows nothing really) and “why is it broken?”

What is the hardware, what is the boot device, what is the boot loader (and version), what does the boot loader config look like… There could be any number of things that stop the boot, including a corrupt boot file.

No one is able to diagnose your problem from the information you have provided.

If you are unwilling to grab a USB stick from a retailer, boot a different OS image and try some diags on your original file system you may well find people reluctant to help (for free…)

Hi it’s your long lost cousin Scratchy Bottom (dry valley west of lulworth cove) Our grandpa still lives in Shaggs (hamlet north of Lulworth) but grandma is in Shitterton (hamlet next to Bere Regis) …

Thing with the spices is that medieval spices were much more varied than the few commonly available today - many are now out of fashion (cubebs, long pepper, though that is gaining traction, grains of paradise etc.).

I suspect the reason many have dropped out of use is down to suppliers not really wanting to bother and the similarities in flavour profile mean the the common ones are good/close enough.

The medieval cook would, however, be fascinated by the containers - screw top and air tight. If you could work out a way of making those…

Laptop - Manjaro because it works and I quite like KDE/plasma.

Work - I use ubuntu server (choice) and Turnkey Linux (legacy) for streaming internally/intranet things respectively. Most of the servers are windoze (corporate policy)

PC at home - Mint (though not so much these days because of an old nvidia card for which there is no longer support and it’s not as convenient as the laptop)
