From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/

How do I recover?

EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao

It looks like your /boot partition was on Mint partition

You can create a new /boot partition and then install your bootloader there

It's not complicated

I don't remember the exact steps on the top of my mind right now, but it's something like

From a live USB (maybe it's necessary to chroot)

Create a new /boot partition
Install grub on it
Check if your bios is starting from this new efi file. If not, make your bios boot from your new efi file by selecting it manually

I think that's it

it'd be a bit different on uefi though

the arch wiki on grub is really good
