Celes6907yEFI hard? What the fuck? Arch install is always around 10min, depending of your connection speed.
Well okay it took more time the first time. -
lotd79287yThe only trouble I've had with efi has been the grub efi entity not being available after a reboot.
Nothing a reboot into chroot and tell efibootmgr to add it didn't solve tho.
Otherwise, one can try something like systemRescueCd or other image that supports detecting other os in the bootloader :p -
lotd79287y@Celes ah yes, if you have entities from past installations that haven't been removed or null entities..
Well, it's understandable it doesn't update those records automatically Imo.
You can just go into your console and remove em though, efibootmgr can do that tho ;p
As well as rearrange em -
Litarvan2277y@Celes Even if it was the first time, you had problems, and I had too. With MBR ? grub-install and it works even with dual boot

EFI works perfectly fine for me... And I use systemd-boot btw... Grub doesn't suit me 😅😜
Am I the only one staying on the old MBR thing because of it simplicity ? All my friends are struggling installing Arch with the EFI shit, while I did manage to install it in 10m without a lot of linux skills
