What happened to my computer

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.

Dont forget to play around with grub while its like this. Tab completion works great, try '(' the press tab to maybe see your disks as grub sees them. I think help lists commands and most of them are harmless.
Is this a joke like
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
to speed up the PC? Because it kinda sounds that way.No. It's a little shell that you can explore with commands. If needed, you can mount and boot your OS just with commands in the grub shell.
The process for this is that you want to set your prefix to the
/boot
partition in the(hd1, gpt1)
syntax (usels
) and then load the "normal" module. From then on, you should have regular GRUB again and should be able to boot your OS to properly fix GRUB.Sounds like you'd love configuring network hardware then! You can get a peek into that in Linux with
frr
since it has a mode to configure your linux machine like you've just SSHed into a Catalyst switch, or just hop on ebay and buy a 20 year old switch for peanuts
