I’d boot on ArchISO, get all data I need to a external drive and install Arch from scratch, btw

t0mri OP ,

So what should i do.

  1. Boot into arch iso
  2. Mount my disk and copy files
  3. And install arch

But i wonder if the mounting part will work. Coz of the mess ive made. I just have to try it ig.

I believe in you. Just have the ArchWiki open. It's really going to be your friend if you've not compiled Arch from scratch before.

Petter1 ,

I have shrunken a APFS partition (macOS) too much lately and was still able to mount it read only using Linux and back up all stuff I needed. But that depends on how corrupted this partition is now.

Maybe you need something like Gparted live ISO in order to get to your data. Check out the Command Line Utilities on that webpage, maybe there is the savior of your data

And about the arch installation, if you want easy mode, just type "archinstall" after ArchISO has booted and your PC is connected to the internet (phone connection via USB works to get internet connection)

Try Void Linux.

Why should I?

it's a great distro for installing Gentoo Linux btw

Petter1 ,

Oh, well I’m not quite interested in that right now, I have chosen Arch because I like the wiki and that you find so many packages in the AUR which are easy findable and installable using yay

Understood. I'm also maintainer of several AUR packages.

Petter1 ,

🫡thank you for your service! I hope, one day I can do so myself as well
