OP here, switched to cinnamon, looks good so far.
Is it true you still got to get your BIOS updates through windows? If so, that sucks ass.

That's not a linux issue.
That's a shitty Debian based distro issue.

When i had this happen to me it was because i had auto mounted another drive linux wasnt installed on and then held the power button down to power off instead of proper shutdown. Did you do either of these things op? Becauase luckily i still had a bootable live iso installed on a usb that i used to boot into and then properly unmounted the drive, fixed the dirty bytes causing issues, turned off the auto mount for the drive i didnt need, and then i was able to boot back into my main distro just fine.

You gotta know how to use the terminal tho
