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.

So new hdd time
Could also be a bad update that broke grub, the smart data will show if your drive is dying
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.
It's too early to tell; you must investigate further.
