Thank you, thank you, thank you to whichever genius decided to make this part of the basic install.
I was playing about with Android_x86 and making that an alternative OS load earlier this evening. My PC is 12-ish years old, not really up for it but thought I'd try anyway. During the install (I'd already tested it from the .iso image on USB) I mistakenly clicked OK, change grub, it overwrote rather than appending.
Now that I'd decided the Android install wasn't what I wanted, rebuilding grub from liveCD didn't work, issues with the Superblock which could not be fixed with any of the usual command line prompts and rebuilds of grub.
Reinstalling grub didn't work then I remembered Timeshift. A quick rollback and fudge at the command line prompt got the system back.
There's a couple of hours of my life I'm not getting back and entertainment I do not want to repeat.
OK, as you were. You can go back to bikes, frame weights, front and rear gear ratios and tyre/wheel combos.
