    My man, I have been trying. Been trying to dual boot since I still need windows for work but I cannot for the life of me get Grub to work. It shows up in the install terminal, but after I reset it immediately disappears as a boot option from my and Linux. I’ve been racking my brain for days and no solution online works. The closest I got was getting to the Grub terminal, but it still couldn’t boot into arch.

    Meanwhile my laptop is dual booting with no problems whatsoever after doing basically the exact same thing. It doesn’t make any sense

      Fine, I’ll be the guy. Sounds like grub-install isn’t writing the configuration to the right place. My first check would be what grub config is being used, then work on replacing that with the one generated by grub-install.

        That’s what everyone was saying online but no solutions have worked. Since I can’t boot into Arch I’ve been having to go through the install USB to get anything done so it’s been super tedious. My next idea was going to try a different boot loader if I can’t get it to work.
