I wanted to format my USB stick in GParted and didn't see that my Computer drive was selected, so I ended up with this:

Screenshot of disk

I'm still logged in and everything is working right now.

So... Is this my last log in (& I can say farewell to the system) or is there a way to get things back?

(P.S.: I have a backup of important stuff.)

You can try to recover lost partitions if no more actions have been done to the disk (format, write...).

Boot from a Ubuntu LiveCD/USB on that machine, open a terminal and install testdisk with sudo apt install testdisk.

Then run sudo testdisk and follow the on screen menu-like instructions to try to recover with this tool.

If you still can't recover or want more options, check this link about data recovery from Ubuntu wiki.

Hope it helps.
