sudo: garuda-chroot: command not found
@malik it looks like you clicked the chroot icon.
If that is accurate, you can skip those steps and proceed directly to restoring grub.

So doing so
sudo grub-install /dev/sda6 ?????
Try /dev/sda, not any specific partition and post the output.
[root@garuda-lxqt /]# sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
Yikes, poor grub doesn't even know what to do on that disk anymore. What happens if you try
grub-install /dev/sda --boot-directory=/boot
in fact he doesn't know what to do anymore
sorry the sequence is wrong.
the last and the first
wait now I'll show you some images having started it in lagacy
Just edit your post.
Gosh I hate to say so, but that disk is just a terrible mess.
- What is on
/dev/sda1and why does it have those flags? Did it used to be a boot partition? If so, what happened to it? Normally if you see agrub2 core.imgfilesystem it is very small, less than 1 MB so I am wondering if this partition was set up with a different purpose. -
/dev/sda3looks like an EFI partition, but it seems a little...odd. Did the system set up this partition, or did you create it in GParted, independent of an installation? Why does it have only 2.74 MiB on it? Have you looked at the contents of/boot/efito see what is actually on there? - What is on
/dev/sda6? It has alegacy_bootflag and it is mounted at/boot, but the partition is 185.55 GiB? The purpose of this partition is unclear. Isboot/grubin here?
If this were my disk, I would do whatever it takes to get my backups in order and just start over. Format the disk completely, set up new sensible partitions, and begin from scratch. Whatever missteps led to this present state are going to be difficult or impossible to straighten out.

So in sda6 I have garuda kde and I would like to get it back since I have many files saved
sda5 instead there is garuda LXQT.
But the problem that with garuda lxqt does not see the partition of garuda kde, that of win10 yes.
that at most I saved the win10 files but those of garuda kde I don't know how.
the sda1 partition made me build it boot repair but I guess it just made trouble.
and sda1, if desired, I could also delete it.
I hope I was able to make myself explain
If you can start in UEFI successfully
- Run these commands in terminal and post all terminal contents, including the commands:
cat /etc/fstab
sudo fdisk -l
lsblk -f
ls -la /boot
If you cannot boot anymore
- Start your ISO installer in UEFI mode
- Mount your partitions, using the terminal, like this:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/garuda
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/boot
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/esp
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/garuda
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/esp
- If all the above complete without errors, post output and commands of these (copy+paste, or you will make a mistake):
ls -la /mnt/boot
ls -la /mnt/esp
lsblk -f
sudo fdisk -l
We also need /etc/fstab file of your installed system. If you can find it, post it here, as well.
