[SOLVED!] Cant boot back to arch, made a big mistake.

[mossy nebula]

I use Arch Hyprland for quite a while now and no issues so far. I decided to delete windows and extend my storage. I used gparted to delete the partition and now I need to use gparted live to extend the drive. The problem is, i dont have a usb. I asked chatgpt if its possible to boot gparted live without a usb. they messed up and I ended up stupidly following the method and now I cant boot back to arch at all. When i boot up the laptop it shows grub with the gparted live iso. When I boot to it, it just shows a lot of errors. When I boot arch through bios it just shows the same grub menu. Is there a way to boot back to arch or atleast wipe and reinstall? I really need this laptop in friday and I hope I can get help.

[karmic echo]

So, it is still impossible for you to get a USB with Arch installation media on?

[mossy nebula]

Thats the problem, I dont have a usb

[karmic echo]

But is it impossible or just inconvenient for you to get one?

[mossy nebula]

Impossible, im a high schooler and I cant ask my parents for one. If I tell them about this problem im cooked.

[karmic echo]

So you don't have any friends who have a USB stick you can borrow?

[mossy nebula]

Nopem

[ivory mist]

How did you get Arch onto your computer if you don't have a USB?

[mossy nebula]

I dual booted using a partition

[ivory mist]

Okay

[karmic echo]

Ok, it is going to be a rather long and painful journey then to recover this. But if you have grub running on the system, you can go into the console mode of grub and then manually enter the needed boot records.

[mossy nebula]

Is it where you press C in the grub menu?

[karmic echo]

Yes

But... I don't know your system and every time I had needed to do this, it took me a lot of attempts to get things right so I don't have enough skills in this matter, to be able to remotely help you with this

[mossy nebula]

Is there perhaps a guide to this?

[stuck kiln]

Not having a liveusb makes this a lot trickier

[stuck kiln]

what do you mean by this?

[mossy nebula]

And the fact I need this laptop in 2 days makes it worse 💔

[karmic echo]

Don't think so. I read the manual of grub to figure it out. But... again... it is painful since you don't even know the kernel parameters

[ivory mist]

Do you have an optical drive? :3

[mossy nebula]

I created a partition, put the iso there, and booted it

[stuck kiln]

Ok, could you do that again? We need to get into some kind of linux to fix this

[karmic echo]

@mossy nebula Expect to at least spend multiple hours to go through this process...

[knotty kite]

I know that's probably a bullshit, but

https://blah.cloud/hardware/need-multi-os-bootable-usb-use-android-phone/

[mossy nebula]

I was on windows that time, note sure if I can do it now since I have nothing to boot into.

[ivory mist]

doesn't this require root?

[stuck kiln]

The trick here is getting into any sort of linux OS. That's the tricky part

[knotty kite]

no idea

[stuck kiln]

After that it'll be a 4-5 command job to fix this I reckon

[ivory mist]

yeah

@mossy nebula is your phone rooted by any chance

[mossy nebula]

No sadly

[karmic echo]

I mean, we can enter the kernel and initramfs paths into grub console and then with some luck get into the existing system... But at this point just ask a neighbour or ask the school if they have a USB stick of any size....

[mossy nebula]

Im from a small school and its impossible to ask for a usb unfortunately

[stuck kiln]

Yep, emergency shell hacking (especially over discord) sounds like the 8th level of hell

does gparted boot?

[ivory mist]

there's no gparted

oh there is

[mossy nebula]

The problem is, the gparted iso does show up in grub. When I boot to it its just a bunch of errors.

[ivory mist]

what are the errors?

[stuck kiln]

If gparted boots then that's debian in a hat so you might, might maybe maybe be able to work with that

[karmic echo]

Tell your parents you fucked up and need help here... that is better than any alternative

[stuck kiln]

When I was a teenager I once ran dban against my dad's drive of holiday photos

Believe me, you will be ok

[mossy nebula]

Not sure but it was long lines of something, I did see it mentioning kernels

[stuck kiln]

Plus there's nothing wrong with the machine at all, just the software. This can all be fixed

[karmic echo]

Also... not having access to any USB stick would be terrible in any recovery situation and I can't believe you run Arch without any way to recover...

[mossy nebula]

My parents have 0 knowledge in tech and will think I broke the laptop and never trust me with one again 💔🥀

[ivory mist]

"i broke the laptop but i can fix it, i just need the usb"

[mossy nebula]

If I get a usb, what do I do after? Ill try my best to ask my brother

[karmic echo]

"Sorry, in my attempt of getting smarter with computers, I accidentally made a upsiwupsi where I can no longer get into the laptop. I fully understand the problem and how to fix it, but I need a USB stick to fix it"

[karmic echo]

It needs to be formatted with some kind of Linux media. Could be the Arch installation media or the gparted iso as examples

[stuck kiln]

step 0 - don't listen to AI chatbots, they don't know anything
step 1 - flash the arch iso onto the stick (this will delete EVERYTHING on it)

[mossy nebula]

And how do I somehow flash the iso on it? Doesnt that require another laptop/pc?

[ivory mist]

it does

[stuck kiln]

After that you're just back a couple steps in the installation guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Configure_the_system

[karmic echo]

Yeah, so you need to ask your brother to also do a few steps on their machine

@mossy nebula https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium

[mossy nebula]

He does have a laptop, but Im still scared to ask gng 💔. Will this fix it 100%?

[stuck kiln]

Important thing to realise here is that your arch install is totally safe, nothing has happened to it. Just the booting situation has been broken, which is very simple in comparison

[karmic echo]

If you have only done the things you showed from ChatGPT, then your Arch install should be safe on your machine and you just need to fix the boot loader

[mossy nebula]

Thats the only major thing I did, the rest was just downloading gparted

[stuck kiln]

Linux is nice like this. It's easy to break, but also very easy to fix

Just gotta put the things it needs where it expects to find them

[karmic echo]

@mossy nebula You might need to promise your brother some kind of offering like a piece of cake or ice cream depending on your relationship 😄

[stuck kiln]

I want some too 🫴

[mossy nebula]

Ive been loving arch so I hope to learn more about it, thank you for everyone thats helping me here 💯

[soft gull]

mushroom.botherer received a thank you cookie!

[mossy nebula]

I will 💔

[stuck kiln]

julemand can have a cookie too. thanks ❤️

[soft gull]

julemand101 received a thank you cookie!

[mossy nebula]

I have a good rs with my brother, its just that he wouldnt have expected I would do this, he doesnt even know I use linux 💔

[mossy nebula]

Do I just do everything listed here from Fstab? What will happen after?

[ivory mist]

depends on the damage

but we'll guide you anyway

[stuck kiln]

If you follow the installation guide closely then you should end up with a happily installed and bootable system

A few of those steps might already be completed or unnecessary, but it pays to make sure

[mossy nebula]

Does it create another arch install or just lets me boot to my prev install?

[ivory mist]

it lets you boot

[stuck kiln]

You'll be fixing your current install

[ivory mist]

it doesn't create anything unless you tell it to

it does whatever you say

in your case, this guide shouldn't be followed step-by-step - because then you obviously would just install another arch onto your computer

[mossy nebula]

Also what usb do I need, just a normal usb thats enough to hold the iso?

[ivory mist]

normal usb

at least 2 GB

[shrewd kraken]

Don't do arch if you need it for production and don't have time or ventoy usb with arch iso.
Arch will break eventually and you'll need ventoy usb

[mossy nebula]

Planning to switch back to fedora in mind cause I realized how complicated it gets. But i'll see how this goes

[shrewd kraken]

Don't use chatgpt. It's terrible worst thing for tech support

[shrewd kraken]

And how you're supposed to reinstall without USB?

[mossy nebula]

Ill try to ask my brother for one

[shrewd kraken]

By using Arch, you agree to DiY and be responsible of your own actions, even breaking it.

[mossy nebula]

Once I boot back to arch and decide to not use it again, I'll need to use the usb to install fedora back right?

[shrewd kraken]

This is why you also make system snapshots, thought BTRFS is best for this with snapper

[shrewd kraken]

You must share your config, starting with the filesystem type

[shrewd kraken]

You need ventoy

[shrewd kraken]

Up to you. Fedora may also break too. In the end it's the user the reason systems break

[mossy nebula]

I previously used fedors and ubuntu and they worked fine without any issues, so im planning to go back since Im not experienced enough

[shrewd kraken]

Rage quitting arch is not the solution
Just learn that you need to keep your ventoy usb with arch iso in it just in case something happens

But again, it's up to you

[mossy nebula]

The problem is that I have 0 knowledge when it comes to programming and coding. I couldnt do anything without a proper guide. So i think its better to just not use arch for now

[shrewd kraken]

I would just backup my hyprland configs, then clean install the system with BTRFS and snapper

[shrewd kraken]

Lol, since when arch requires a programming certificate?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1212760568860123166.gif?quality=lossless&name=Mad_KekLeave&size=48

[mossy nebula]

I have 0 knowledge when it comes to using the terminal, i sometimes wonder how did I make it this far using arch.

[ivory mist]

it's kind of related so i get the point

[shrewd kraken]

You could then use fedora or linux mint until you learn how to

But for the sake of tux, never use chatbots ever again

Also, you will and must keep a ventoy usb with your distro iso on it to fix your issues

[mossy nebula]

So right now, I need to get a usb, boot back to arch, and install a distro?

[ivory mist]

chatgpt can provide valid information, but only if you feed it with the same quality of information

[shrewd kraken]

You need arch iso to chroot

You can chroot and fix the mess, chroot and copy your configs then reinstall arch, or just straight install another distro

[mossy nebula]

Can you somehow list the things I need to do?

[shrewd kraken]

Arch iso boots to a tty

Don't expect a live desktop

[ivory mist]

you want to just install another distro?

fresh install?

[shrewd kraken]

Though it sounds like rage quit, they proved they don't have the skills to manage and maintain Arch

[ivory mist]

no shit

[mossy nebula]

Yep, i dont think using arch without having a proper usb and 0 terminal knowledge will be a good idea

[ivory mist]

what about your data?

[shrewd kraken]

And I bet OP stole the hyprland configs from a random repo

[ivory mist]

okay so what

there's no need for a guilt trip

[mossy nebula]

I just used hyDE 💔

[shrewd kraken]

Nobody prosecuting OP here, as I want them to learn from the mess

[mossy nebula]

Honestly theres nothing much there, but there is some game files in there that I would want to keep

[shrewd kraken]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1234815297492615340.png?quality=lossless&name=zMokouThink&size=48

[ivory mist]

okay. then you can just get the usb prepared with the distro of your choice

no arch

and then just back up the data from there

and install the distro

[shrewd kraken]

You will need another drive to backup, and fedora/Linux mint iso to move boot and backup

Unless you want another distro

[ivory mist]

you won't need another drive to back up

[mossy nebula]

Theres 2 folders there i need, the rest is not important

[ivory mist]

good, so just get them somewhere safe - persistent usb storage, cloud, a small separate partition or something

once you boot into the installer of the distro of your choice

[shrewd kraken]

Afaik, fedora is using BTRFS ootb nowadays

[mossy nebula]

Since I messed up the boot, will it be possible to access the files in the arch once i boot to a new distro?

[shrewd kraken]

This is good for this kind of issue but requires user to have knowledge and skills

[shrewd kraken]

From a distro that live boots into a desktop

Eg, Linux mint/fedora

[ivory mist]

yes

[mossy nebula]

I will most likely go back to ubuntu or fedora. I mained ubuntu for months

[shrewd kraken]

You need ventoy

.aw ventoy

[small crown]

Ventoy

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ventoy

[shrewd kraken]

... ventoy

[small crown]

#10503 📣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K64sT0pQc-0&t=28s

[shrewd kraken]

This is how I have arch, gparted live ISO, and more tools in 1 USB

[mossy nebula]

So I just need to flash the iso in the usb and boot it? And then just take the folders i need from the arch partition?

[ivory mist]

yes

[shrewd kraken]

Not to detriment OP, but this case in a nutshell

... newhypr

[small crown]

#17677 📣 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/667889924233625613/1394538342237868133/image.png?ex=6885044a&is=6883b2ca&hm=1eb68d0f41429ba9b80d2942df09bbc29a1bc2a7d4ced4a3fcb29fb3ace5d5c7&

[shrewd kraken]

Good thing that it's fixable

[mossy nebula]

I saw a lot of people go through the worst breaks ever, not sure why I didnt feel threatened 💔

[shrewd kraken]

Your issues doesn't compare to the ones I've faced, like corrupted drives

So go get a flash drive, ventoy and the distro iso you want to install and use to recover data

[mossy nebula]

Even just seeing arch gone from my grub menu already gave me a heart attack

[stuck kiln]

Yesterday I crashed my gentoo chromebook so hard I had to take the back off and yank the battery

[shrewd kraken]

Nah, you're good. I've seen windows deleting my entire esp already

[mossy nebula]

Whats your recommended usb storage size? Planning to install ubuntu

[shrewd kraken]

Please don't.
Use fedora kde for the best experience, or nobara if you do gaming

Or even better, bazzite

[mossy nebula]

I used ubuntu for months, ill try maining fedora

I actually tried booting bazzite before, it just gave me errors

[shrewd kraken]

Ubuntu is not that good anymore

[stuck kiln]

Ubuntu is a very opinionated distro, not really the best for learning imo

[shrewd kraken]

Depends on your specs and how you booted it
Nobara exists as alternative

That is, if you do gaming

[mossy nebula]

I forgot the error, but it kept getting stuck at loading

[shrewd kraken]

The system specs and user needs define the distro you'll use

[mossy nebula]

Considering I use an old asus gaming laptop i dont think a gaming based distro will be a good idea 💔

[shrewd kraken]

Share system specs

This will help to recommend a distro and DE

[mossy nebula]

You can try searching it up since im not an expert. The things I know are:

ASUS GL552V
Nvidia GTX 950M
8GB Ram

[shrewd kraken]

Oh, Nvidia

This explains a lot

Bazzite offers great Nvidia experience

[mossy nebula]

And also Intel i7 something

[shrewd kraken]

Bazzite literally has an Nvidia dedicated ISO

[mossy nebula]

The last time I tried installing it it just got stuck in the loading

[shrewd kraken]

For the ram, that depends on the distro
Arch offers zram

But kde plasma will do fine

[shrewd kraken]

Try again with ventoy

[mossy nebula]

Ill try tomorrow, ill ask my brother in a bit

Its night rn for me so

[shrewd kraken]

You can have bazzite, nobara and Linux mint isos on a single ventoy drive and try them all

[karmic echo]

Also comes with zswap enabled by default which already helps a lot. But I would guess most Linux distributions does the same today

[shrewd kraken]

Idk. But I think OP will benefit best from bazzite than from arch

Because bazzite is noob proof

[mossy nebula]

I never tried mint since I feel like thats pretty much just a lighter windows

[shrewd kraken]

You can't break bazzite

Like.. you can't get this thread issue in bazzite due to how it's built

[shrewd kraken]

You can try it live

[karmic echo]

Yeah, can see bazzite enables zram by default

[mossy nebula]

Also my laptop is too old to support the steam game mode thing, so only the dekstop

[shrewd kraken]

You don't need big picture mode

Thing is, get bazzite, Nobara and Linux mint isos then try them all.
You can use any of those to recover your data then install

[mossy nebula]

Ive considered bazzite when i used arch, it just shows an error when i tried booting it

[shrewd kraken]

Idk how you tried to boot bazzite

But it will boot fine with ventoy

I already mentioned other distros to try

[mossy nebula]

Sorry for dissapearing, I have a lot of assignments to do. Can anyone give a usb recommendation? My brother will ask my mom to buy one

[mossy nebula]

I booted it by making a partition with the iso in it and then boot it from the bios. It sent me to the install menu but when I press it it just shows erros and stuck on loading

[stuck kiln]

I just get the cheapest one from the nearest supermarket, they almost certainly have them on the electronics aisle

[mossy nebula]

So just a cheap 8gb usb will be fine?

[stuck kiln]

Sandisk is a sold brand

[mossy nebula]

Whats a recommended size

[stuck kiln]

Anything lower than 8 you're just sorta scamming yourself paying for the packaging 😄

Memory is pretty dirt cheap these days

[mossy nebula]

Yeah cause it wont even fit some of the iso's

[mossy nebula]

I never had a usb so i was skeptical when I saw the prices, thats why I asked

[mossy nebula]

Whats the recommended size?

[stuck kiln]

For an iso stick I'd say 16 or 32 gb as then you will never have trouble with space

8gb is a bit small if you ever end up wanting to install windows or something

[mossy nebula]

Thanks

[mossy nebula]

is this one okay? Its common here and a lot of ppl sell it for cheap

[ivory mist]

yes

literally anything should do

[mossy nebula]

thanks, ill buy it and try it out

[ivory mist]

unless it's somehow a knockoff or somethin

[stuck kiln]

I have some of those exact ones but in fetching fluorescent colours

seem ok 🤷

[mossy nebula]

its official from sandisk

[ivory mist]

then go ahead and buy it

[mossy nebula]

aight

[mossy nebula]

Ordered the usb and it should arrive today. So all I need to do is

• Install Ventoy on the usb
• Put the bazzite ISO and gparted live to the usb
• boot on my laptop
• install bazzite
• Take the folders I need from arch partition
  -Wipe out arch and resize with gparted

[shrewd kraken]

1. yes
   1.2 must use GPT mode with ventoy
   1.3 disable fast startup on windows if dual booting
2. yes
   2.1 disable secure boot, fast boot and legacy CSM support
3. no, you use bazzite live desktop to backup your data from arch
   3.1 install bazzite while wiping the entire drive
4. enjoy

optional: enable secure boot for bazzite
https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/secure_boot/

[mossy nebula]

Sorry Im still slow, whats the difference between live dekstop and actual install?

[shrewd kraken]

live desktop runs from ram. you literally boot a system live, not installed. it's what bazzite does ootb

so when you reboot without installing, bazzite won't be there

https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/linux-live-usb-what-is-it-and-what-is-it-used-for-423

[mossy nebula]

So after getting the folders I need, thats where Im supposed to install bazzite?

[shrewd kraken]

yup. you boot into bazzite from your ventoy usb, then use eg, dolphin file manager to get into your arch drive and copy your data into another external drive

yes, you need not just the usb flash drive, but another HDD/SSD or upload to a cloud storage

then, you can actually wipe the drive and install bazzite

[mossy nebula]

Its just 2 folders worth barely 3gb, the rest arent important since I keep my data on my phone

[shrewd kraken]

still backup

you don't want to be like me, with 700 GiB worth of data, and your main HDD starting to fail, omen of sudden data loss

redundant backups are a must

it's not adviced to store all your data on your main drive, where your OS lives

[mossy nebula]

Also, theres like 150 gb unallocated space in my laptop since i failed to extend my drive, is it possible to install bazzite there and wipe out arch from there?

[shrewd kraken]

if the main drive with eg, bazzite fails, you may lose not just bazzite but all your data

[mossy nebula]

Ive heard of that, I had 2 partitions when I used windows

[shrewd kraken]

so you better get an external HDD for backups in the future

[shrewd kraken]

after the backup, you can use gparted to clean wipe the drive. then, let bazzite use the entire drive and it will do the partitioning for you, unless you still want to dual boot

https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/dual_boot_setup_guide/

[mossy nebula]

Im keeping only 1 os since its kind of a hassle to have 2

[shrewd kraken]

good thing is that bazzite is like arch, regarding docs. they have great documentation

[shrewd kraken]

so pure bazzite

in the future, if you ever need windows, you can make a windows to go external usb SSD/HDD

for that, you can use rufus on a windows VM

[mossy nebula]

Yep

[mossy nebula]

The only time I need windows is for office, so far using just the web version

[shrewd kraken]

still it's good to have a windows to go

that's how I managed to upgrade the UEFI of a laptop I was fixing and also get the GPU color profiles and IRS audio

[mossy nebula]

Im gonna get a new laptop when I enter college, thats where I need windows probably

[shrewd kraken]

by that time, get an external HDD for backups and one for windows to go

USB 3.2+ HDD/SSD is best for this

that way you can keep your Linux install as main, then just plug the Windows to go, boot, do your thing, power off, unplug, go back to your main Linux

[mossy nebula]

Ill probably just dual boot since I would most likely need windows, but i'll look into that when Im interested

[shrewd kraken]

if you dual boot, do it with 2 drives

[mossy nebula]

So i download both of these ISO's?

[shrewd kraken]

no, you'e supposed to choose the right iso for your hardware, then your desktop. I recommend KDE plasma

KDE plasma is easier than gnome

also don't use beta isos

[mossy nebula]

Im more used to using gnome, are there any differences other than the look?

[mossy nebula]

So I just download the first iso and boot it through usb after installing ventoy?

[shrewd kraken]

Kde plasma is more customizable ootb
If you like gnome, go with it

[shrewd kraken]

Yes

I already explained what to do

[mossy nebula]

Thanks, ill update when I get the usb

[soft gull]

Luvenshantzen ⭐ received a thank you cookie!

[mossy nebula]

Got the usb and im downloading ventoy now

[shrewd kraken]

Depends on your host

Idk what OS will you use to make the ventoy usb

[mossy nebula]

I finished downloading

Is this correct?

Do I press test this media & install or just install?

[mossy nebula]

I used my brothers laptop to install ventoy n the iso's. Worked well so far

[shrewd kraken]

Don't install bazzite

[shrewd kraken]

Stop

[mossy nebula]

I know

Thats why i havent installed

[shrewd kraken]

You have to use bazzite to get your data

[shrewd kraken]

So close the installer

It should have a live desktop

[mossy nebula]

Press quit?

[shrewd kraken]

Yes

Idk what boot options it has but look for a live desktop, like test bazzite

Not install bazzite

[mossy nebula]

It had test & install and install

[shrewd kraken]

Test and install

[mossy nebula]

It only has
Install bazzite
Test this media & install bazzite
Troubleshooting

[shrewd kraken]

So you can open a file manager to get your data

[shrewd kraken]

In that case, get a Linux mint iso and boot off it to get your data if bazzite doesn't have a live desktop

[mossy nebula]

It sends me straight to an installer, so I need another iso?

[shrewd kraken]

Read what I said

[mossy nebula]

Alright

This one?

[shrewd kraken]

Use the cinnamon one

[mossy nebula]

Alright

Its downloading, ill update when im back on my laptop

The teacher said that if I fix this she'll grade this instead of the work shes supposed to give me

[mossy nebula]

Done downloading, gon boot to it

Which do I choose?
Start linux mint
Start linux mint (compatibility mode)

[shrewd kraken]

1st one

it will boot to a desktop

from it, open file manager and open your arch drive

then backup your data

[mossy nebula]

Alright

[shrewd kraken]

you can open firefox, and stream on VC

like, open firefox, login to discord, screenshare on VC

[mossy nebula]

Ill send it to gdrive since i dont have an ssd

Rn its just loading I think

Im in the desktop

Got in the file manager, I can open my drive

[shrewd kraken]

backup to gdrive then

[mossy nebula]

Aight

Its downloading now, might take like 20 minutes cause my laptop's network driver is old

[shrewd kraken]

you mean uploading

[mossy nebula]

Yep 💔

[shrewd kraken]

iirc you gonna single boot bazzite

[mossy nebula]

Yes, Im still keeping mint in the usb just incase

Its still uploading

[shrewd kraken]

if you want to use mint for backups, sure

[mossy nebula]

even though it would be nearly impossible for me to break bazzite ill just keep it just incase

after i finish the upload do I go to gparted?

[shrewd kraken]

after you finish the backup, reboot to bazzite iso and proceed to install

this is why ventoy is so goated, have several distros/iso tools on 1 flash drive

[mossy nebula]

So I'll wipe the arch install with gparted after that?

[shrewd kraken]

bazzite will do it for you

unless you actually want to manually wipe

[mossy nebula]

alright

[mossy nebula]

Installing bazzite now after I have time to do it. Is it just automatic config?

[shrewd kraken]

looks good to me

it should erase the entire drive then install bazzite

[mossy nebula]

Its installing now, just waiting

[shrewd kraken]

let it do it's thing

once it finishes, it should prompt for a reboot, then enjoy your new system

[mossy nebula]

Alright, thanks for the help so far

[soft gull]

Luvenshantzen ⭐ received a thank you cookie!

[shrewd kraken]

go check #off-topic as there's news for games

[mossy nebula]

Do I continue or no?

[mossy nebula]

I decided to redo the process and do the partitioning myself. Hopefully it works

The error is gone but this popped up like 10 minutes after

[mossy nebula]

I've fixed everything and now my laptop is back to working, thanks for everyone that helped here. Ill mark this as solved.

[SOLVED!] Cant boot back to arch, made a big mistake.

[shrewd kraken]

you could had used gparted, wiped the drive, then let bazzite do it's thing

sorry was afk and you never pinged me

[mossy nebula]

My bad, didnt want to disturb anyone. Everything works fine now dw

Thanks for the help
