By mistake I did sudo mv /usr/bin /usr/local/bin and forgot to put the filename. Now my terminal is not usable. Is there a way to recover from this? I'm from a company laptop and I cannot reformat.

Also, the disk is encripted

Does this answer your question? Accidentally moved /usr/bin – muru Jan 15 '24 at 13:23
Nope, I cannot even open a bash anymore – Gerardo Zinno Jan 15 '24 at 13:35

Press Ctrl+Alt and F3 and you should get a terminal ... Or reboot to recovery mode ... Or boot from a live USB and mount your root filesystem to move it back. – Raffa Jan 15 '24 at 13:48

@steeldriver hmm, yes, I had forgotten about usrmerge, I'll edit it – muru Jan 15 '24 at 14:46
@Raffa the terminal won't work because bash, ls, mv, cp...are gone and I could not boot from live USB because of the bitlocker protection and other stuff my company has done to the pc – Gerardo Zinno Jan 16 '24 at 21:22
