I’ve lost everything and I don’t know how to get it back. How can I repair my system all I have is a usb with slax linux. I am freaking out because I had a lot of projects on their that I hadn’t pushed to github as well as my configs and rice. Is there any way to repair my system? Can I get a shell from systemd?

Oh my God. Flashbacks to the first time I fucked up my Arch installation like a decade ago. This is a solid run-through of a very character-building exercise 😂
It’s like a rite of passage that brings Arch(-based) Linux users to the next level of the sacred tomb of Linux. When you break an install this bad, you either move back to Windows or become the person people ask for help when their bootloader is somehow fucked.
Thank you for the help but it possible to do this from slax linux? Because that is the only usb stick I have on hand.

Should it mount /dev/sda2/@?

It says mount point dosen’t exist
/dev/sda1 is not a directory

Pretty sure pacman runs mkinitcpio by itself, but I guess a second time for good measure couldn’t hurt

This is the best comment here.
I couldn’t figure out how to mount /dev/sda1 and did pacman -Syu and then I mounted it once I figured it out now pacman says there is nothing to do.

Nevermind I ran a script that looped through all packages in the output of pacman -Qk and reinstalled them.
