My Linux mint pc just crashed because I was moving a lot of files from the home folder to the root directory. I got error that the drive is getting full. After clicking show error my pc rebooted and there was an error something like "can't create user journal no space left" I've been running mint for 4 years now. But arch for 2 years on my laptop (hyprland) and main pc (kde). So for this pc I thought why not also arch. Put the install drive in and booted and got this fancy screen. I've never seen this screen so nice. Why is that, I always just saw the text.
Coz you booted in BIOS mode, arch iso has a different boot menu for EFI and BIOS mode.
I strongly advise that your PC supports BIOS/Legacy mode, use that instead of stupid overcomplicated, buggy UEFI crap.
I guess UEFI is useful if you want to use secure boot or PCI pass through, otherwise there's no reason to make your life painful by using UEFI, just install grub to the MBR and it just works, no need for complicated UEFI dirs, and add the UEFI vars to the device firmware that get automatically deleted every time you swap hard drives and then the system stops booting, and ofc installing to the removable path doesn't work either...
My god, I hate UEFI with passion.
Wait... That's what happend to me and wasn't able to find any solution on the web.
Any idea to solve this issue when swapping hard drives?
