I've decided to reinstall arch and follow online guides closely. Even with that however, I got an error on startup, something that hasn't happened before I'm my time with Arch. I could use some help to fix this install.
#Problems on first boot.

#17478 📣 The Arch Linux community does not offer support for the information contained in videos; for installation procedures, the Installation guide is the only officially supported document. The content in the videos may be out of date or inaccurate.
There is no way a Youtube guide is exactly the same as the wiki. There are several decision points when one install in accordance with the wiki. At its extreme best, a video might represent one correct installation based upon one set of decisions for a particular machine at the time the video was made. the correct way is the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

start over and read the wiki page instead

Dang. Well, off I go to reinstall a 3rd time.
I do want to mention this. I tried installing refind instead of grub since I got refind working with secure boot but grub won't never.
So I used pacman -S to get it, then refind-install.

why do you need secureboot?
plain marsh
Well, I am trying to duel boot windows 11 with Arch. And windows 11 requires secure boot. Plus, this will be my main machine in college, so I'll take the extra security.

w11 does not need secureboot

Even if I have to get to lengths like these to do it.
plain marsh
and secureboot is a placebo
What do you mean by that?
