So I got this weird bug – I updated my Pop_OS install and now Linux doesn’t boot anymore. I should probably boot from USB and fix this. I could figure it out on my own, but maybe it will be good knowledge for people searching on engines so any advice is welcome. Windows still boots properly. Let’s give people some alternatives to reddit :)
I wonder if it has anything to do with this:

I’m not familiar with SGX, but it kinda sounds like a predecessor to Secure Boot? I wonder if that’s preventing some kind of startup.
Yes, I’m thinking that the bios got corrupted somehow and from what I can tell, it doesn’t matter what linux kernel version I try to run. There is no SGX setting in the bios. I will try to update the bios tomorrow (I already tried once and that hung as well) and will update the thread then. Luckily windows still works.
That link I gave mentioned a Grub setting for ignoring SGX. Maybe try that after updating your BIOS, if that doesn’t work.
