hy im trying to install arch as the third os on my windows / ubuntu machine and i cant figure it out how to set the grub bootloader i have already read the friendly manual but probably also due to my non native English origins i coudnt find an answer to my question witch is during the arch install should i reinstall grub with grub-install ? i would prefer to keep the old (ubuntu) one also because its already customized but unfortunately i cant...if i dont install it i dont have the directory /boot/grub in witch i should place the grub.conf file so should i just create this directory ? i have tried with os-prober correctly activated to generate a new grub.conf but it doesnt pick up the arch install .., what are the files i must have to make grub recognize those partitions as a new os to witch assign a new boot entry ..

I went the GUI route with EndeavorOS. I had to set (flag?) the existing bootloader to /boot/efi I believe. Then I was able to install normally from there.

(Was coming from Manjaro)
