You may want to replace the disk on that computer after you fix your boot. (As people said, with a recovery drive, probably the same one you use to install.)

After your computer is back, get a SMART client (like smartmontools) and check your disk status.

Probably, yeah. Depends on a few other things (drive age, SMART test results, how risk-averse you are…)

But at least it’s worth thinking about.

Could also be a bad update that broke grub, the smart data will show if your drive is dying

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.
