    I think it's only Windows that will break things, so you should be good. Also, I think it's only when it's on the same drive, but I'm not sure. That's how mine was that got messed up. I just ended up ditching Windows because I didn't need it anymore though. That's the proper solution.

    The plan is to ditch win in the long term. Not quite at that point yet.

    I'm not overly fussed about upgrading windows any further for this reason but I do remember seeing deb have a similar solution for the bootloader bug it's addressing with the warning in the release notes it spooked me

      14 hours now and nothing but flame wars going. You got anything else.

      There are plenty of responses from people trying to help.

      If the OP isn't willing to try any steps or provide feedback to the people who offered suggestions that's on them.

      On the other hand, you're engaging in exactly the kind of zero effort flame posts that you're also complaining about. It is hypocritical to complain about toxic Linux communities while being part of the toxicity.

        Maybe try adding

        acpi=off

        Or

        acpi=strict

        Or

        acpi=force

        To your kernel parameters

        Good recommendation, but didn't work. I'm quite puzzled by this problem and it's much more difficult than I at first thought. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the bios since the computer doesn't turn off properly and there are many more weird bugs.

          Hmmm. Can you try to give us more logs?

          Honestly I'm starting to wonder if you're having hardware issues.

            My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

            1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

            2. Boot into live distro

            3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

            4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

            5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

            Hope it helps any newcomers!

            you don't have to follow a wiki anymore; there are distro's out there that specialize in repairing broken bootloaders using a point-and-click interface and they're great if you're as lazy as i am. lol

              This may work in 99% of the cases, but not in my situation since I've tried 5 distros and none of them boot. I'm pretty sure there are deeper issues, but they are clearly beyond my level of knowledge.

                I'd add :

                1. back up your data

                  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 🙂

                  Update: I updated and reset the bios and that fixed the issue.

                    I fixed it! A bios update and reset did the trick.
