12 hours later: I’m out of even nonsense ideas. PC is ewaste, be a year or two before I can afford a cheap one from Walmart or smth. I sometimes amaze myself, followed a straightforward installer so wrong it killed my PC. That’s actual talent, really.
Least I still got the phone.
Installed Nobura so wrong it killed my windows install, isn’t installed, and I can’t install any os to any drive
If I get my computer back up I am learning the lesson I am too incompetent for linux

When I fucked up a linux install in the only comhuter my friend and I had access to at the moment he was able to flash linux into a pendrive that had two ends, one usb-c (that he plugged into the phone) and one usb-a (that went into the laptop). Maybe you can use a similar trick? I can ask him what app he used if you’re interested
