From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In that case you should be able to rule out borked boot priority.
I'd be looking at the bootloader, next. You don't mention having multiple boot options, but it could be defaulting to the wrong one for some reason. Or because the one you want is unable to boot despite being otherwise fine.
I never multiboot (had enough of that pain years ago). I'll look into the bootloader but I assumed that Boot Repair would have corrected that. It might be that it didn't see the bit pointing towards the rescue partition as a problem.
You still have a bootloader, even if you only have one OS. And if you do have a recovery image as you say, you are multi-booting.
I recall the ability to boot from an encrypted partition requiring some additional config for grub, but I see no reason for boot repair not to account for that.
If you use some other bootloader, I've no experience.
