Hello, I don't post often on this forum, as I've had an exceptional experience with using Garuda Linux (Talon) Dr460nized Edition.
Nevertheless, I've encountered an issue after updating and restarting my machine. I use the garuda-update command on a weekly basis, and been doing so ever since. Never have I been unable to boot up and access the main OS when using Garuda.
NOTE 1: I cannot access the OS itself, only the Boot screen (previous snapshots don't even seem to work when entering them); therefore going into the konsole and pasting information via garuda-inxi is not an option.
Because I can't do so as described above, I've been looking for topics related to this issue on both Garuda forums and Arch wiki. I found some discussions with solutions provided, most of which mention somehow switching the zen kernel to just Linux. Regardless, I'm still lost and have no idea what to do - concerned that I would make the situation worse.
NOTE 2: I have Linux LTS enabled, so I don't know if there's a workaround for entering the OS without facing a loop. Also, my machine is strictly built with AMD in mind, so no driver issues AFAIK - and I do not dual boot any other OS/distro on my machine besides Garuda Linux itself. One thing I noticed after updating, was that the last lines on the konsole registered that the system took about 2 minutes and 30 seconds to update (nearly a minute shorter than usual from my experience).
Note 3: I don't think this issue has anything to do with GRUB, though correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also unsure if this issue has any relation to BIOS updates/motherboards in general, both of which I never mess with.
On the flip-side, I hardly touched Garuda ever since as far as installing/saving anything considered important - though I doubt this issue is anything dramatic, since I can still access the boot screen and (I'm hoping) the OS itself doesn't seem "broken".
For what I have been using my machine for (as both an enthusiast workstation and casual gaming rig), Garuda Linux has not let me down and I really don't want to encounter such an issue again if unresolvable.
Any sort of feedback would be much appreciated..
Best,
