Did you not try regenerating GRUB's grub.cfg or even reinstalling GRUB entirely?

i live booted from a usb to get my files and then did a complete reinstall of ubuntu on the laptop when all my personal things were moved off

I see that what you never used Windows 9x very much,

their tranny OS's

or even modern-day Windows.

OS tribalism aside, I do agree that something like this happening obviously isn't appropriate for a serious daily driver. Of course we'll never know specifically what happened or how to fix it, but I have a hunch something happened with the bootloader which would've been very easy to generate a new configuration for or even reinstall specifically instead of reinstalling everything and hoping the same problem won't happen again.

When I was first learning Linux for some reason I outright deleted the entire GRUB partition but thanks to online spoonfeeding I found out how to get it back up again like nothing had ever happened.
