Honestly this is just a me thing with my brain. I have VERY high PC setup inertia. If my system’s running, I’ll keep it that way. And if there’s a problem (like my current Linux being actually fucked), first reflex is to get a panic attack.
Was probably wrong of me to generalize my inertia here especially in the Linux community so I’ll apologize for that.
Dang, everyone is so much nicer in the Fediverse. Now I feel like an asshole for poking fun at you a little bit. My bad. What error are you getting on boot BTW?
The first thing I would try is booting from a live USB, mounting the old install, regenerating inframfs then update GRUB from terminal (it may or may not let you from terminal in the GRUB menu also)

Nah it’s fine. Basically grub can see the SSD where the kernel lies and boot the kernel, then the kernel can’t see the drive its on anymore

I did all that and more already. That’s why I ultimately gave up. It’s rare that I can’t fix a Linux issue, but this is one of those rare cases.
That sucks sorry dude hope there wasn’t too much non-backed-up data
Well I can still access all the data from a live usb so I already backed up the most important stuff.
