I am a Linux beginner but I really enjoyed it so far. So far. Since yesterday, my Linux (pop OS) only wants to boot into emergency mode. I have a suspicion, even though my Linux and Windows are located on different physical disks, somehow Windows does it’s toxic ex lover things and somehow broke my Linux I assume. It’s there a terminal command to somehow reorganise my boot files?
Bummer. Pop os is as bulletproof as any non immutable operating system i can imagine. I have booted into pop many times without experiencing this once and same goes for others i know.
Most likely, it really is windows messing with your stuff or the ssd is on its way out. Only time I did experience similar things was when the ssd was becoming unreliable.
I did recently hear of hybernation being a problem when dual booting when someone booted into windows in between while linux was hybernating.
I’d suggest booting a boot stick with a live stick and try from there. Since pop os is made by a company selling hardware, they have a pretty strong motivation to make their distro work. Check their website too https://support.system76.com/articles/bootloader/
Let me know if you need more help.
