I recently dual booted linux mint on my laptop, and I came across the infinite squashfs error (an infinite amount of “SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page” and "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data counting up, I think because I took out the usb and pressed enter too quickly) I couldn’t do anything, so I shut down and restarted, upon restart, its running fine? No corruption.

Edit: I reinstalled and waited a while after unplugging before and enter did not work, I hit escape and this happened again, though text is bigger and slower

    No, you’re fine. You just yanked the install media before it was done putting itself away. Depending on how it was made, the install media might not even be damaged.
