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.

@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.
