Ubuntu doesn´t work anymore.

[Peer]

I was watching YT videos, then I saw that chromium stopped loading the next video and that chromium was not in my programlist anymore. After this I did a reboot and while the reboot it stopped booting.
And booting Ubuntu whith an older kernel dosn´t work too.
What should I do?

If you don't have Timeshift set up....do it.

That timeshift is like a fallback mechanism? Is it available in all distros in some form?

G'day @Dimitris - My Tute here

... will tell you probably more than you need to know (lol) on Timeshift.

The only Distro I am aware of at the moment that it is not able to be installed on is openSUSE but Timeshift author Tony George is working on that.

If you have any questions on it, by all means ask them over at my Tute .

There is also a very clear description of its use that friend @arochester found some time ago, contained within the Linux Lite Manual, here

https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/tutorials.html#timeshift

Timeshift comes already installed on the Linux Mint 18.3 series, the LM 19 series, Linux Lite 4.0 and a Manjaro community spin known as Manjaro 'Strit' which was actually the first to include it.

I have been using it for 4 years and 3 weeks ... not that I am counting - and it has saved my bacon many times.

Cheers and it's Friday in Oz so
