Sep 4, 2022 at 20:06 comment added goldilocks If the information here still leaves you perplexed, then very seriously and honestly: As someone obviously new to both the Pi and linux, you are making a big mistake not using the most widespread distro in common use, ie., Raspbian/RpiOS, for which there is tons of documentation and help available. If you don't need this (but it seems clear that you do), you are going to find yourself wasting a lot of time up a creek listening to crickets.
Sep 4, 2022 at 20:06 comment added goldilocks The first partition of the SD card must be a vfat partition containing some specific files, regardless of the distro since otherwise the Pi would not boot, period. So it is there on the card. I think config.txt may not actually be required, but I would be very surprised if it were not there. In any case, try find /boot bootcode.bin, since that does need to be there. If it isn't, the boot partition can be mounted wherever and accessed, it is the first partition on the drive, /dev/mmcblk0p1, I've edited in an easier way to find that above.
