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.

Basically I tried to uninstall an old version of the linux kernel, I had like 5 versions installed because it was taking up too much space on my /boot partition and now my PC is bricked, this is what it displays when i try to boot it

What exactly did you delete in the /boot directory?

My advice in the above post is partially the reason this post had to be created 😅

I think your advice seems to mostly be sound. I think the execution of the advice was the problem :)
