I was using Fedora 40 and all of a sudden it stopped working, it takes me to a selection screen where there is fedora 39(i originally installed that version the it was upgraded) i select it it says booting and then a black screen, i had also zorin in another hard drive and the same happens, i tried booting from bare metal with a usb and the same happens but it takes me to a prompt that says boot: and i can write stuff.
Did your computer serve you ads?

Did your computer’s OS get an upgrade, but you can’t usr it because your hardware is"old?"

Does your OS just generally suck?
Linux doesn’t! Ooot! Ooot!
- I’m sorry, I just really enjoyed that typo ;-)
If it doesn’t even boot from the USB stick then it’s probably a hardware issue.
Ill try this, but i also cannot boot into Mint which is what i have on my usb. Also i didnt installed zorin bur rather just added the harddrive from another pc for use and forgot to format it, ive been using ot for a while like this,l. Do you think this os still my issue?
If you can’t boot from an install media USB it’s probably a hardware issue.
Could be ram, could be bad USB stick. I9 processors apparently have an issue if that’s what’s being run
I managed to boot from the USB stick while running Mint in compatibility mode. I assume that if i burn and reinstall hopefully everything would be good if the hardware is working. Maybe I could fix it but I have no idea how to know whats wrong.
There could be an issue with those things. You could try using a different USB stick to eliminate the stick, different USB port etc maybe try a disc instead of a USB stick if possible
