Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and also new to using Linux. I used Ubuntu once in 2008 but back then it wasn't very user-friendly yet, so I only came back to Linux a couple of months ago because I am fed up with Windows and the crap Microsoft is trying to pull with their upgrade wall for Windows 11.
I decided on using Pop OS because it got good reviews and it looks nice. I like working with it and everything just works - except for the system booting routine on my desktop PC. I have several SSDs installed in my PC, one of which still contains a working Windows 10 version. Another SSD is for installing games and the last SSHD is for storing data.
I have to boot into Linux using the F8 key for choosing the bootable drive because the Windows boot manager always gets prioritized when it let the system boot up automatically. However, something doesn't seem to be working with Pop OS and desktop PCs because I suddenly got the "attempting to write outside of hd0" error, but whenever I restart the system and grub takes over, I can just click on Pop OS and it starts up fine (most of the time). Sometimes I even get a kernel panic error which I don't understand. The troubles seem to have started after doing an update via Pop Shop and since then, the system does not boot normally anymore. I always have to wait for grub to come up during the second try and then it works. Also, I don't have a recovery partition on my desktop PC, but my Laptop does have it and it runs perfectly. I don't have any errors when using the OS with my laptop. Only on the desktop it's kind of weird.
I installed Pop OS from a bootable USB drive and just clicked on the erase and install option, as I thought it would be the easiest and trouble-free one... Well....
Any help would be appreciated. Especially helping me understand how errors like this one occur in the first place and what could be done to avoid them in the future. I don't really want to reinstall the system again, as I have already installed the system twice (once with encryption, which caused a weird issue with the boot partition getting fuller and fuller, and then a second time without encryption, but now with the boot error issue). How can this be so hard? I did not fiddle around with commands or install dubious apps. I just used the system normally and update regularly via Pop Shop.
