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.

help request - broken grub (lemmy.world)

Folks, I just fucked up. I have a void install and an old debian install. I resized the debian install, but I forgot I got grub installed there and now it's unbootable - respectively, it displays the grub rescue shell. Is there a way to somehow get back into void and reinstall grub from there?

you can boot from a liveCD or USB, then mount the main OS, bind mount dev and proc, chroot into it and reconfigure/reinstall the boot loader
