No because I don’t know what I am doing, lol… but I can now.
Ok just tried and said it can’t locate pkg Zorin-os-desktop
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Ok I got lists:
Brave browser release list, Mozilla list, mozilla.liz.save, Rodsmith – Ubuntu – refind-Jammy.list, Zorin.list, Zorin.list.save,Zorinos-Ubuntu-apps-jammy.list, Zorinos-Ubuntu-apps-jammy.list.save, zorinos-ubuntu-drivers-jammy.list, zorinos-ubuntu-drivers-jammy.list.save, zorinos-ubuntu-patches.list, zorinos-ubuntu-patches.list.save, zorinos-ubuntu-stable-jammy.list,zorinos-ubuntu-stable-jammy.list.save
Strange - you can see the Zorin OS sources listed.
Try:
apt search zorin-os-desktop
and see if it shows anything...
Sorting…done
Full text search….done
And then blinking cursor on the next line
Since removing the 32bit packages, maybe we need to refresh the sources
sudo apt update && apt search zorin-os-desktop
Ok will do…
Ok it started to do something then stopped and it says
“E: The repository CDROM://Zorin-OS 17.2 core 64 bit jammy release does not have a release file. Updating from such a repository can’t be done securely and is therefore disabled by default. See apt-secure (8) manpage for repository creation and use your configuration details. Skipping acquire of configured file main/binary-i386/packages as repository HTTPS://Brave – browser – apt-release.s3.brave.com stable Inrelease doesn’t support architecture i386.”
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Arrow key to the line that includes CDROM Zorin OS and put a hashtag in front of it.
It should look like
# deb cdrom:[Zorin OS 17...
After you put that hashtag. Once done, tap ctl+o to overwrite, tehn enter key to save current configuration. Tap ctl+x to exit the editor.
Run
apt update
Then try installing...
apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop linux-generic grub-pc-bin grub-efi-amd64-bin

Ugh…still saying it can’t find pkg Zorin os desktop….
You know what, I think I am going to let this sit for a bit and try again in a day or 2. You have been so kind (and so patient!) to spend all this time helping me with this & I would hate to take up anymore of your time. Thank you so much for your help it is sincerely appreciated. Do they have a place on here where I could give you $ to get a coffee or something because you surely deserve it!
What happens if you try booting up?
The next time you are in a position to patiently help someone, seize the moment to pay it forward.

Just tried one last boot and unfortunately it takes me back to the TTY one screen login and has some numbers and says array index out of bounds with some other verbiage and numbers 16.935506…index 2 is out of range for type ether_addr.
Same as before.
I do make an effort to help people just as part of the way I live my life, but the next time I have an opportunity to do so in like manner I will absolutely do it in your honor. God bless!

This looks like a kernel error. Later, you might try selecting a different kernel from the Grub menu and seeing what happens. When you feel like it.

Ty…I don’t quite know how to do that, but I will get back on here and give it try.
In the Grub Menu, when you boot, you should see
Zorin on 6.8....
Zorin on 6.8 (recovery)
Then below that, the option to boot Zorin OS on a different kernel:
Zorin on 6.7...
I use the version numbers 6.8... and 6.7... as examples. You will see a fuller number that is the versions you have.
@Aravisian I noticed in your comnand line instructions that sudo was missing?
Due to the Recovery Menu leading to Drop to Root Prompt.

Not with a big Z. With a small z.
There is a - too much between bin and grub. That are 2 Packages, not one.
