Why is my macbook pro with arch linux on it not working?
The problem specifically is that when it boots up it looks fine with the exception that there is a permanent spinning wheel/gear/loading icon, and when I select the arch linux boot option from grub (ive tried using systemd already) it says loading initramfs, the loading icon freezes, then after about 5 seconds lines appear at the bottom of the screen and then about half a second after that the whole macbook crashes. I've tried reinstalling, I didn't change or do anything except for an arch reinstall with the exact same settings, but I did follow a hallucinating idiotic ai guide off the internet that told me to hit a keyboard combo that didnt exist which is when the loading gear problem and everything else began.
