From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

yea. Voidlinux, I hibernated with "ZZZ", now managed to boot to it from grub from another distro butt none of the services work I think and I can't start a DE or start xorg or whatever. I tried removing the swap or turning it off ot whatrver and after I did swapoff it did seem to go away but then I had the samr problem and when I booted the same way the swap partition was on.

should i delete the swap partition and make another one later or...? pls help thanks a lot!

Backups are needed. But if you want to learn how to solve weird issue like this. This is good practice. But again make sure your files are safe.

imo if OP made it here they have already traveled enough, and I know I didnt know in my comment, but the separate hone partition makes it a lot less painful.
