Ran garuda update. Restart pc and kaboom i can't boot. I saw this post Failed allocate zstd buffer
But no solution was marked and preety old so i am creating a new.
I have zero idea about boot things. So please be kind.

i press restart button, leave my machine, see....

i press restart button, press f12, selects first boot option, see grub counting 5 to 1, boots to garuda)
