Looks like after using my computer on battery power, I closed the lid and left it unplugged overnight. This morning, I can't boot into any kernel or restore my system from a snapshot.
I get a dark grey screen followed by a black screen after choosing an option from grub and hitting enter. Can't seem to get a terminal up either, or boot from a USB.
Hardware is a 2015 Macbook pro retina, running Garuda XFCE on bare metal. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to get running again. Thanks!
I've tried using the Grub menu booting into the 3 kernels I have installed, as well as their images. I also tried using a timeshift snapshot to restore from a couple days ago.
I plugged in a Manjaro USB, selected it as my boot from the mac "control" choice, and it starts to load then quits.
Beginning to think it may be hardware (battery?) as the Macbook has been on a/c for a while now and still seems to be charging.
It may be, I'm still investigating. I've been able to boot into MacOS via a clone on an external drive. Mac disk utility shows the internal drive as a small linux swap partition.
I'm going to try a restart back into Garuda, and if that fails, try to restore an earlier snapshot once again. If that fails, I'll try to do a full reinstall and go from there.
update: I'm still unable to boot or restore any version of garuda from the grub menu.

That seemed like a good point to stop.
Also tried the grub repair on the welcome screen, nothing worked
I can see my filesystem on Dolphin.
Timeshift running from USB can't find any snapshots.
Are you booting in BIOS/legacy mode with a GPT partition table?
It’s a warning, letting you know (in this case) that the mirror timed out (like how a website sometimes won’t load).
This has been covered on the forum a few times already, and should be visible using the forum search function (e.g. there are threads with that exact title).
Tried again with updates after fixing the performance-tweaks and auto-cpufreq-git are in conflict, failed for a couple different reasons.
I've decided to install the KDE version to play around with.
I'd love to know what caused the complete system failure after closing the lid of the computer and not being on battery overnight. Seems to be a hibernation or related issue,
Thanks for your help, sorry I couldn't take it further.
