So, I want to install Arch on my PC. I'm already on Debian 12.
The issue is that when I writed into the USB, using balena etcher, the ISO file of arch, I booted into it, selected Install Medium (the first option), then it showed some things and then just a black screen.
I don't think the things that it showed were errors.

I even tried with Ventoy, no success.
How could I fix this? I will attach my system information here.
