I’m able to get to the BIOS on my desktop. But when greeted by the boot loader to choose between Arch or Arch fallback, after choosing, I lose display.

Sometimes I can get display, but its not consistent. Draining my computers power by unplugging the power cord and holding the power button works sometimes. Sometimes a simple reboot will work.

I have an Asus b550m-plus motherboard. It was working great with Arch until recently.

Edit: it uses by press e at the boot loader then putting nomodeset at the end, but the display is choppy compared to when its able to boot without it.

Edit: Installing linux-lts and directing my bootloader to it worked. I didn’t even need to install linux.

    I’m also having problems with the flatpak Discover center where I can’t install nor update packages. I might reformat my operating system like I sadly have to do a few times a year to fix bugs (Whether Arch, Ubuntu, or any Linux).

    However my operating system is encrypted with LUKS. And I have other drives connected via raid mirroring, and I don’t want to lose access to anything saved.
