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.

I've lost everything and I don't know how to get it back. How can I repair my system all I have is a usb with slax linux. I am freaking out because I had a lot of projects on their that I hadn't pushed to github as well as my configs and rice. Is there any way to repair my system? Can I get a shell from systemd?

There is nothing worth of freaking out in your situation. Your files shouldn't have been impacted at all.

Boot from LiveUSB and reinstall the packages you were updating, maybe reinstall grub too.

There are tons of guides for this in the Internet, like this one: https://www.jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/linux/how-to-reinstall-boot-loader-arch-linux/

Edit: since you probably use systemd-boot, as I can see from your post, obviously the grub part of my comment shouldn't be done. Replace those parts with systemd-boot reinstallation. Even better if pacman will update it, because there's probably some hook already to do things manually and you won't have to touch systemd-boot at all
