Sorry to spoil the party but this comment was typed on Microsoft swift key 9.10.44.22, Huawei p20 pro, Voyager 2.17.1, emui 12.0.0
No bother with swipes (don’t usually use them), backspace, predictive text - though word suggestions only appear when I stop the swipe.
Eta: Voyager is from Play Store.
The “daily fail” is hardly a valid source for anything…
Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what’s wrong?

You are right, it doesn’t happen with any other O/S except iOS where you have to pay people/Apple to fix it (or reset the OS) or Windows where the stock response is “reinstall the O/S”
How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach. If not… Find someone local to you who is able to fix it (good luck with that…)
As for the rest - you come over as someone who expects someone else to fix your shit for free with no information other than “waaaa it’s stopped working”
This may help How to as Smart Questions
Fwiw, based on your brief description of symptoms, I would say your boot device file system is broken somehow. To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS and fsck it (however if it mounts, copy valuable data off onto other media, then fsck it) . How to do that is left to your powers of Google. Not warranting my response in any way.
Best of luck.
First up - I know nothing about your specific problem. Let me add some pointers as to why you may be having difficulty…
You need to provide way more detail than a screenshot (which shows nothing really) and “why is it broken?”
What is the hardware, what is the boot device, what is the boot loader (and version), what does the boot loader config look like… There could be any number of things that stop the boot, including a corrupt boot file.
No one is able to diagnose your problem from the information you have provided.
If you are unwilling to grab a USB stick from a retailer, boot a different OS image and try some diags on your original file system you may well find people reluctant to help (for free…)
Wow. I retract my recommendation. But then I am technically able but normal user level lazy…
The worst thing that Manjaro/Arch did was to automatically build QT when it was unnecessary and then blame users for not looking at the AUR comments before doing the automatic update that executed the build… If they can’t admit that was a distro issue not a user issue (user taking recommended action gets pc incapacitated because of automatic action by the update software which happens with no warning) I guess they need to grow up.
Am I going to jump distro? Nah. It works for me. I said I am lazy!
What no Manjaro? Sweet Arch based distro which hardly ever breaks…
