I have an Acer laptop with Arch Linux, yesterday I was able to boot into BIOS by pressing F2 but when I tried to do it again, I can’t… it just loads into a page like the image shows and I have to power off from there.

that laptop looks quite new and probably has uefi, have you tried choosing "UEFI Firmware Settings" in grub?

It is relatively new, Acer nitro. How do get the Grub screen?

I only have this
native gorge
systemd-boot? yeah, that should do too
reboot into firmware interface is your bios
for reference, this is grub
or, rather, its defaults
bold blade
Yeah
native gorge
did it work?
bold blade
I get the same screen
native gorge
thats something more than just arch then 🤔

I don’t think I have grub on my laptop? Somehow.
native gorge
its fine
bold blade
Is “grub.d” it?
native gorge
systemd-boot and grub are alternatives for each other
i personally use grub but there are people who use other things, like systemd-boot or (uhh) efistub
bold blade
Hey it worked this time
native gorge
neat
native gorge
thats the name of your drive, apparently

Lol, ummm. How do I rename it?
native gorge
no idea, im on legacy bios
bold blade
That’s alright, it disappeared now..
native gorge
legacy uses the drive identifiers, while uefi also tries to look for bootable executables names, and that seems to be the latter

Do you have secure boot on or something?
Why is secure boot failing🤔

Now all I see is that
I'm confused you seem to have it off how is it failing?

It somehow turned on
I turned it off now
And I can boot back to Linux
But in my boot priority order it looks the same
bold blade
~~this is why i use legacy boot~~
Is there a way that I can get that? Or
Can any of this help or mean anything

usually just disabling uefi, but you will need to reinsall most of your boot stuff if you do so
