I never understood these. Arch has always been rock solid for me and in 10 years or so I have never had to chroot to fix an issue. The most annoying issues have been related to PGP signatures or old certificates but those have been easily fixed.

What is it you people do to your arch installs that fucks them up so much?

  • Nvidia driver (not me, I'm poor)
  • dubious/niche AUR packages
  • Wrong settings on BIOS/UEFI
  • Windows Update on dual-boot setup (sometimes)

I don't know why, but my archlinux bootloader always disappear if I connet bootable disk when my computer is booting, lol...

What the hell are people finding on the AUR? I just need it to install like... Discord and Lutrus?

Some custom or git version of application. Once a time I need to use sddm git to fix bug with my hylrland.

It's possible your uefi has a thing about default EFI boot names. I ended up changing mine to just boot because if I update the bios it clears everything and doesn't automatically pick up any EFI except boot.

My advice is that you make sure you use a full unblemished calf for sacrifice with gilded horns of gold.

If you don't gild the horns and burn the fatty thigh parts in the fire then it will never boot.
