What the fuck are you even talking about. Go back to bed. I'm not an idiot and I'm not falling for your shit.
Do you seriously think I don't know what a whataboutism is? Fuck off with this disingenuous bullshit tankie.
I'm not even a goddamn american!
I'm not sure if this is the problem, but it might be that cp -r creates the new files according to the current user's umask and uid/gid. Which, if done from a live CD, would be a user that does not exist on the system when you try to boot it. What you want is cp -a.

You might be able to correct this without re-copying everything by using rsync. I don't recall the incantation off-hand (you'll want to google it) but I think you want rsync --partial --archive.

Edit: Would also help to know if you are getting any error messages at boot time.
That's usually from credential stuffing, which I guess you could consider botting, but what I was referring to was automatically creating accounts. Sorry for the miscommunication.

How did you mess it up? What actions lead to the problem and what are the symptoms? When you mount the disk from live USB, what happens? Do you see any errors in dmesg after doing that?
They are not leftists, they are tankies who are pro-Russia, pro-CCP, pro-Assad, and basically pro-every-authoritarian. They defend multiple genocides. They're fascists stealing leftist valor.
I don't think so really. Google accounts are pretty hard to bot. I think they're just idiots and children and with Poe's law you can't really tell the difference.
You asked a completely irrelevant question to deflect to a different subject, presumably because you thought I was American. Unfortunately I've slayed a lot of tankies and I know your tricks. I'm not falling for your misdirection.
