Sounds like this.
It is booting just fine from USB.
it means the Linux OS you have installed doesn't work with your hardware. You probably have to get rid of whatever updates installed since the last time you ran it.
I haven't installed any updates recently, what does this mean? Does this also mean I lose everything on the computer? Fuck, and Thanks for your help
Unless you have the harddrive encrypted, you should be able to access the files after you boot from the USB by looking for the other drive and looking through the files.
You are going to need someone who is better at Linux than me to help you troubleshoot. Also consider asking an AI.
Just because you didn't run the update doesn't mean that the laptop didn't do it for you.
