I hope you understand what I mean.

On my grub screen there are 4 options, 2 regular booting and 2 recovery mode afair.

I cannot access the first regular one, only the second one. Cannot give you a screenshot or a picture because I’m scared of rebooting the computer again.

If I execute cat /etc/debian_version it returns 13.0, so it’s already upgraded.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y doesn’t return any errors.

what is going on?

    I listed all installed kernels:

    dpkg -l | grep linux-image | awk ‘{print$2}’

    then removed several old kernels:

    sudo apt remove --purge linux-image-XXX

    then updated grub:

    sudo update-grub2

      I’ve never had to manually delete kernels.

      Apt autoremove automatically takes care of older kernels

      Maybe try reinstalling your default stable kernel linux-image-amd64 (or whatever architecture)

      Typically, no need to specify specific kernel versions like 6.12

      You should really just back up your files, do a fresh install, and don’t fuck with the system like that.

      You can look at the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file for details as to what each option is on the grub menu. It’s not the prettiest file though. Search for menuentry, that should be followed by the name of the entry and below details for what kernel and options it uses.
