oh ok. run this: sudo apt remove snapd && sudo reboot

 

your laptop will restart and it should boot up then. let me know if that works because you'll need to do something else after that.

okay. when you boot up in the boot loader you see 'ubuntu' and 'advanced options for ubuntu'. go to advanced options, and select the third option.

maybe i should boot into Windows and see if the problem lies in there. You know, maybe it decided not to fully unmount? i told it not to but ya i think i'll go look over at that

have you even tried booting Windows? if Windows boots okay it's just the ubuntu filesystem that broke itself. in that case just reinstall it. by the way, if you somehow magically get it working don't forget to install snapd again because you removed it with one of the previous things you tried.
