I was testing different flavors of Linux (using windows as my main OS) and the last time I forgot to make it overwrite the linux partition or something idk what I did and it formatted my whole drive. What can I do to recover my files?
install gentoo
Just format it back and your files will still be there
Install Windows 10 and all your files will be exactly where you left them.

>implying I'd help a winfag like you
ironically it's quite easy to recover your files, I just hate you.
Throw water on computer
>>54499397
Kill yourself.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Pour petrol on affected computer and apply a burning match. Or...
Install gentoo.
I literally never tried these but I'd do if I were in your situation:

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Most computer users who run the entire Linux system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.
There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

if testdisk doesn't help you you'll want to use photorec. It won't recover any of your names or anything, just give you gibberish bullshit.
But it will pull off pretty much every file that hasn't been overwritten on the drive.
>>54499397
Use DBAN to restore your files :^)

Hold on, let me pm it to you.
>>54500833
Sent. ;)
