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.

I have a laptop eith sata and a nvme drive. I installed a few operating systems and I decided on Mint for Sata. Installed it copied data from Nvme drive since I was using it as primary. I installed Nobara on nvme and it worked flawless until a few moments ago. Reboted and Mint is gone from boot options. Tried to add it but don't find it. Tried to boot into Nobara but it gets stuck on blank screen. Power button works but that's about it. No HDMI output. Recovery options dosen't work either. In Nobara live session I can see my Mint drive with all the partition and so is Nobara. Also I have for some reason option to boot into windows and Debian even tho when I installed I chose full drive.

You've messed up partitioning and EFI partitions. There are leftovers from Debian and Windows. Wipe both drives, star fresh. Make one EFI partition on the NVME drive, 512MB, and use the rest for the main OS. Use the entire SATA drive for the other boot option (no need for EFI partition on that one). When installing the second OS, skip the bootloader install. Boot into the main OS, set grub to search for other OSes installed on the laptop and update grub afterwards. The second OS should appear in grub's menu.

I would start fresh but I got data on my sata. Also sometimes it boots in grub. I think it's from Debian. Can I use that or do I need to be in a system?

Maybe it’s just with my Aussie accent but this is a great rhyme 😅
