congratulations! you have successfully installed arch linux on your machine after a few explosions of grub, systemd-boot, and archinstall, but your machine should be relatively stable now; good work. :blobcatthumbsup: :neocat_heart:

now, in the rare occasion of your bootloader / systemd / anything else blow up again, adding a USB drive that has a bootable arch install ISO to your everyday carry is strongly recommended -- it can help you boot into your existing environment, or as a last resort, help you do a fresh install when you are out and about.

make sure this USB drive is almost always with you, but rest assured, the arch linux community have figured this out.

There is a USB drive attached to the heart-shaped ring.

@kuriko@wetdry.world What if I'm already past Arch Linux? What would be the next step?

@kuriko you kids today don't know how good you have it!

we used to have to use a piece of string to tie a debian boot CD to our collars, and then answer a bunch of questions from normies about what the big shiny thing on our neck was.

@kuriko you could also just put a recovery/ installer env on your efi partition as a single file efi executable

I need to look for the wiki page though on how to do it

@kuriko I like carrying a #Ventoy stick with multiple install and rescue ISOs. :blob_rainbowheart:

@kuriko funnily enough, arch linux never exploded on me in itself at all.

it was rather the desktop environments shooting themselves in the foot sometimes and borking shit in a way that would not let me work with it.

well, to be fair, archinstall did explode on me a few times but that's because I forgot to configure smaller things by accident.
