12 hours later: I'm out of even nonsense ideas. PC is ewaste, be a year or two before I can afford a cheap one from Walmart or smth. I sometimes amaze myself, followed a straightforward installer so wrong it killed my PC. That's actual talent, really.

Least I still got the phone.

Installed Nobura so wrong it killed my windows install, isn't installed, and I can't install any os to any drive

If I get my computer back up I am learning the lesson I am too incompetent for linux

    the steam deck rocks:) I think Nobara have add-ons for supporting the decks game mode stuff which is cool, might give it a go on there sometime. yeah you can install steamOS on whatever but I prefer something more libre. good luck with it and feel free to hit me up if you run into issues!

        sorry, I feel partly responsible:( that sucks. if you get access to a way of making new boot media I would try running fsck on the drive and then probably write all zeros to it and create a new partition. I know you're probably done with this for now but I could post some resources later when I get on my PC that might help guide you.
