    Windows can’t read your linux partitions, it doesn’t support them, so it’s almost impossible for it to damage your installation. It used to be that it could mess with the bootloader, but since UEFI got implemented, that’ become less likely.
    What does it do when you boot into normal mode? Does it get to the login screen or not? Do you see error messages?

    If you get to login but no further, it could be a problem with your user, like a bad shell setting, since rescue mode logs you in as root usually (I’m not very familiar with debian/ubuntu based distros), otherwise it could be you installed/updated/removed the wrong package(s), unfortunately as far as I’m aware apt doesn’t have history rollback capabilities, so undoing that is going to be difficult.

    This is an unpopular opinion, but when you’re still inexperienced with linux, the quickest way to fix your system is just reinstalling. Back up your whole home dir beforehand and you’ll just have to drop it back in place to get all your data and settings back. If you have more than one user you may want to be careful with the UID, you may have to chown -R the whole directory.





  • Explain how fewer young workers can produce enough in taxes to run the country.

    Our knowledge and craftsmanship improves continuously. Fewer people are needed today to produce and administer things than were needed years ago, we just decided to produce more. That is not necessary.

    Explain how a dwindling tax base will support the elderly.

    What do the elderly need? Essentially medical assistance. That’s what we should focus on improving right now.

    Explain how to avoid an economic collapse as fewer and fewer people require fewer and fewer goods and services.

    We’ve learned that “the economy” is mostly disconnected from the well-being of the average person. It’s a matter of will and organization, really.
