From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

boot into something, figure out your partitions and chroot over to the fedora 39 root (with everything bound right) and do grub-install /dev/your_boot_partition after making sure the config is how you want it.

Here's the fedora docs on grub and here's a stack exchange post where someone doesn't succeed at it because they don't troubleshoot their failed grub install. sad!

you can also boot the install media and skip to the bootloader section and only do that part. i used to do that when i didn't understand how to diagnose and fix grub/lilo problems. sometimes it works.
