    Literally this morning I started getting boot errors. It is telling me WBM can’t find the boot file. But I should be booting into grub, so idk what to do. My boot order is Ubuntu, then USB. And that’s it. And now I’m out of the house all day and can’t do anything but sweat about it.

      Sounds like Windows rewrote boot manager. It likes to do that sometimes. Basically your only choice is taking live USB booting into it and reinstalling grub.

        This is likely what happened. I think I’m gonna format the Windows SSD attached to the server (old install) and reinstall grub. Tomorrow, I guess. :(

        Edit: Now that I’ve had a moment to think, I realized that I deleted grub. It was on another SSD that I wiped. It was on the SSD that my old OS was on that I wasn’t using anymore. But my actual Linux install came from another computer. So when I dropped it in what became my server, I installed grub manually on the old SSD (which has now been wiped) to boot to my Linux SSD.
