Help solving my linux install fuck up (sh.itjust.works)

I don't know if this is the right community to ask but here goes.

So... I tried to install opensuse on my PC today. It already had windows and fedora. I was planning to replace fedora with opensuse.

The installation process went fine till at the end of installation opensuse gave some error about efi partition. For context my efi partition is 100 mb (not the recommended 500 mb). And I had also installed MX Linux which is still visible in the boot option even though I deleted MX Linux long time ago.

After the installation, I rebooted my pc and... there is no open suse boot option, even though installation was completed after the error. I booted into windows, and it showed me an error screen with a qr code 🙃.

It then automatically booted into fedora (which btw was deleted during opensuse installation), but it was stuck at loading screen, so I powered off my PC. When I powered my pc back on, the monitor showed no signal. The fan lights on the PC were as usual.

What just happen here and how do I resolve it?

Get into boot settings, or into bios. Bios: Change boot options to launch your usb before anything else. Boot options: Just select your live USB. Typically f2, f8, f10 and f12 keys get you into those, just button mash one the second you press power till you find which it is. If none, try all even function keys then odd. You'll hear a million beeps, its ok and safe

I remember the boot option screen is f11, but smashing it doesn't show anything

Ok so if your not getting a signal out to your monitor at all that is a hardware issue, I would suggest testing the monitor is working on another pc and if it works on that computer, you should remove your hdd or ssd and plug it into that computer and then boot into the usb environment on that machine. It seems you know how to get into the boot options already so... If you are having hardware issues, let us know so someone else can give you a better answer, I'm soon to go to bed
