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?

Been here before, but didn't bother asking for help. Just used a liveusb to grab what I needed and reinstalled. I need to learn how to chroot ...

Same, though I did try to chroot. Totally failed though. Luckily I had backups, which I learned never backed up properly.

The lessons I learned were to never trust a GUI and always make sure your backups are viable. I still have a copy of a duplicity backup form ~2020 that I hope one day to recover, if anythings in it.
