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 :)
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
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
Disconnect the other drive when you do it and you’ll be fine.
