    When you freed up the disk space windows seems to have broken mints bootloader partition. You could fix it if you wanted, but at beginner level its probably best to reinstall. If you need to recover any data from you “broken” mint partition you can plug the mint USB in, boot into the live environment and look in your files mount you old mint files and backup anything you want to keep before reinstalling.

    Depends on how much of a nerd you are. If the idea of rescuing your system using the terminal sounds fun then try otherwise just reinstall.

    Most Linux users run fully unencrypted drives as well. Its a vulnerability and a risk but its not a massive threat to the average person.

    Idk if the average person is a laptop user but laptop users would definitely place a higher value on disk encryption.
