Hi I’m so sorry I don’t mean to be a bother or force anyone into unpaid support, but I’m having a full meltdown and if I can’t fix my system I’m screwed. I really thought I was doing it right and installing Pop to my second D drive to leave windows alone but somehow it completely broke Windows and I can load into that, only Pop! And unfortunately Pop! I guess isn’t really my GPU (Nvidia 1080ti I think) so on my 4k monitor everything is blown up and the wrong aspect ratio, cutting off the bottoms of windows I Pop! so I can’t even navigate this system that I’m 100% entirely unfamiliar with. I don’t even care about getting windows back at this point if I can get Pop! usable, I just need a usable machine. I’ve tried some terminal stuff I’ve read online already but nothing has worked and I’m afraid to do the purge ~nnvidia command because it said it might turn my screen black and if I can’t even get into Pop! then I’m screwed. I don’t even know what help I need but I desperately need help

Edit:

I’m too stupid for this. I don’t understand what anyone is saying, nothing is working. I don’t know what to do. I need to stay away for a few because if I don’t I’m going to kill myself. I’m very sorry and I appreciate everyone’s help, I wish I that I was smarter and I wish that I was stronger.

Edit 2:

    I fucked up my systems quite a lot back in the day and had to reinstall everything from scratch, because I was inexperienced. Lost quite a lot of personal data as well, cause I had no backups ofc.

    If I were you, I’d try to fix windows rn. (for that you’ll probably get better help on the windows reddit)

    And then attempt a linux dual boot again but this time preparing a bit better, reading more, using the newest versions, having a backup plan if everything fails again.

    If you can do a videocall on your phone through discord or wire I can hop in a session and help you in about 20h from now. Videocall so I can see whats on your screen and tell you what to do.
